Scientists are buzzing with excitement as the world's rarest whale, the elusive spade-toothed whale, has washed up on a secluded beach in New Zealand's southern Otago region.
The remains of this obscure, five-meter-long beaked creature were discovered near a river mouth on July 4. As the spade-toothed whale has never been observed alive, this discovery provides a rare glimpse into the life of a species shrouded in mystery.
