A team of beaked whale researchers are “highly confident” that they have likely identified a new species of whale off Mexico’s western coast.
The trio of researchers — Gustavo Hinojosa, Jay Barlow and Elizabeth Henderson — working in conjunction with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society say they detected a rare type of beaked whale first linked to an “unidentified acoustic signal” spotted by the remote San Benito Islands.
