Alaskan Cook Inlet Beluga whales have been added to the endangered species list.

UPDATE: AP had this cutesy photo with one of their editorial captions:

Beluga whales in Alaska’s Cook Inlet are endangered and require additional protection to survive, the government declares, contradicting Alaska Gov.
