douglas adams and mark carwardine documented their encounters with the endangered animals on their conservation travels for the bbc programme "last chance to see". the book by the same name, published in 1990, included pictures of a captive specimen, a male named qi qi (淇淇) that lived in the wuhan institute of hydrobiology dolphinarium from 1980 to july 14, 2002. discovered by a fisherman in dongting lake, he became the sole resident of the baiji dolphinarium (白鱀豚水族馆) beside east lake. a sexually mature female was captured in late 1995, but died after half a year in 1996 when the shishou tian-e-zhou baiji semi-natural reserve (石首半自然白鱀豚保护区), which had contained only finless porpoises since 1990, was flooded.
