And how much genetic difference is there between them and the Southern White Rhino? Enviros like to play that game. 'Oh no, this is the Eastern Bank Mississippi River flying striped spotted frilled riparian mud skipper, not the Western Bank Mississippi River flying striped spotted frilled riparian mud skipper,' even though there's almost no genetic difference.
Not that I celebrate the extinction of species, but enviros pull that cheesy scam alot.
