Scientists Think They ve Discovered a New Species of Beaked Whale

Scientists Think They ve Discovered a New Species of Beaked Whale 12 DECEMBER 2020 Scientists may have discovered a large-toothed mammal off the western coast of Mexico that they say looks and sounds unlike anything else on Earth. Researchers collected environmental genetic samples of this strange creature that are still being analysed, but the photographs and acoustic recordings have researchers highly confident it s a never-before-described species of beaked whale.   We saw something new. Something that was not expected in this area, something that doesn t match, either visually or acoustically, anything that is known to exist, announced Jay Barlow, a marine mammal researcher who worked with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization, during the expedition.

Whale of a find: Scientists spot beaked whale believed to be a new species Scientists on board a Sea Shepherd vessel say they found a new species of beaked whale near the San Benito Islands off Mexico’s Pacific coast. The species differs visually and acoustically from other beaked whales species, according to the researchers. The team took photographs, video recordings and acoustical recordings of the species, and also performed environmental genetic sampling to help confirm the existence of a new species. However, other experts say that detailed descriptions of the animals’ physical features and skeletal structure are needed before a new species can be accurately identified.
