Spade-toothed Beaked Whale - World's Rarest Found by mkmyers45(m): 3:45pm On Nov 07, 2012 |
A rare whale species that's never before been seen has beached in New Zealand. Two spade-toothed beaked whales, Mesoplodon traversii (pictured above, or view larger), previously known from only a few widely-scattered bone fragments, were positively identified using DNA technologies by a team of scientists from the University of Auckland. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/grrlscientist/2012/nov/06/1 |

quite interesting but not surprising. only about ten years ago they found an isolated tribe of humans that have had no contact with the outside world for thousands of years (people that thought a bulldozer was an animal coming to eat them ). same with a species of monkey found about twenty years ago. I bet we still have many more surprising things to discover in our beautiful little planet |

Ha!!! NLers wont check out this thread because it involves a rare fish but it is not in a soup, which is where all specimens of fish belong. |

Na only Baba God save am, wey be say e no land for our shores.....dem for take am make exotic fish stew sharp-sharp (peeps at the scene -sharp knifes at the ready- would look at the marine biologists pleading for its life to be spared like they're crazy ); the poor thing would go from 'rare' to 'extinct' specie in the time it takes to cook a delicious pot of stew together with accompanying condiments. |
