The 1-year-old male finless porpoise, reproduced via an artificial breeding program, celebrated its birthday on Sunday. Rarer than China's giant panda, the finless porpoise is a mammal similar to the dolphin, and now teeters on the brink of extinction, with a population of around 1,000. (Xinhua/Cheng Min)
