The fauna of the Yangtze River is diverse and unique, featuring over 300 species of fish, including the critically endangered Yangtze giant softshell turtle and the Chinese paddlefish, which is functionally extinct. The river also supports various aquatic mammals, such as the Yangtze river dolphin (baiji), which is nearly extinct, and the finless porpoise. Additionally, the river's ecosystem is home to numerous bird species and invertebrates, contributing to its ecological richness. However, habitat degradation, pollution, and overfishing have severely impacted this biodiversity.
