Hello Greenzoners!
Recently, a new discovery on the coast of New Zealand proved our little knowledge about ocean depths. The rarest whale known to the humanity was seen for the first time after very long time – an animal called spade-toothed beaked whale (Mesoplodon traversii) is almost unknown to science. Last evidence of his existence were skulls found 140 years ago in Chile and New Zealand. Now 2 individuals were found – originally mistaken for Gray’s beaked whales, but further DNA analysis proved that it was mysterious spade-toothed beaked whale.
