Last female Yangtze turtle dies, species on brink of extinction.

The last known female Yangtze giant softshell turtle has been found dead in Vietnam, leaving the species on the brink of extinction. Only two known living Yangtzes remain on earth, both males, and one suffers from impotence. The species was decimated by habitat destruction and illegal turtle hunting. Researchers are holding out hope that there may be another Yangtze stealthily living in Dong Mo. Conservationists suggest that the species could be brought back from the brink of extinction with the help of advanced cloning technology.
