Endangered Chinese sturgeons released back into Yangtze River
A total of 2,020 Chinese sturgeons were released back into the Yangtze River, which is located in the city of Yichang, China's Hubei Province, on Sunday afternoon,April 24, 2016.
The ancient Chinese fish is currently on the brink of extinction due to over-fishing and new dams being built in the area. In the last ten years both scientists and civilians have been playing their part to help protect this rare and valuable creature.
Every sturgeon has been fitted with a GPS wrist-band, which sends information back to scientists. This includes the fish's swimming routes, water temperatures and the amount of salt in the water. This key information will help scientists help monitor the species.

Chinese daredevil walks 60-meter slackline between cliffs
High above the roaring waters of Tiger Leaping Gorge in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Zhang Liang balances on a belt just 2.5 centimeters wide. The 31-year-old successfully finished the 60-meter walk, 16 meters above the Tiger Leaping Gorge, in less than 6 minutes on Tuesday, April 26, 2016.

The Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest gorges in the world. It is named for a tiger that is said to have escaped humans by leaping across the fierce waters where the canyon narrows.
