The finless porpoise is a protected aquatic mammal, also referred to as the "smiling angel."
They have been increasingly observed in the Yichang section of the Yangtze River.
The sightings of their hunting and playing indicate a strong recovery of water quality and biodiversity in the Yangtze River.
China's comprehensive fishing ban in the Yangtze River basin, beginning in 2020, has largely improved the river's water quality.
The river has maintained a Class II rating for three years since 2020, making it suitable for daily drinking after conventional treatment.
