Detailed information of the specimen is little-known as well. And I cropped the original image because approximately one-third of it occupies a container which contains a specimen of a mature Baiji Dolphin. Compared with the other three images I've taken inside the museum, features of Chinese Paddlefish are clearly shown in this image. The other specimen in the container is highly probably a Chinese Paddlefish, though I can't 100% confirm it.
