Researchers are saying there’s a new whale species found near Antarctica, but although they think it is new type of beaked whale, the only evidence they have so far for the ocean creature’s existence is its whale song.

In a related report by the Inquisitr, a rare Omura whale was found on a Western Australia beach recently. Over in Ecuador, a whale shark beached itself and required a huge rescue attempt.
So far, scientists only know the potential new whale species by its signal, known as Antarctic BW29 and Antarctic BW37. These recordings were made aboard a research vessel sailing the waters near the South Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands, and Antarctic Peninsula. These frigid waters hold many undiscovered things, and they believe these unique whale songs confirm at least one, and potentially two, new whale species.
The two new signals were recorded using an underwater hydrophone array that was towed 200 meters behind the research ship, according to Whales.org. Antarctic BW29 was recorded more than 1,000 times. The timing and type of sound it made is considered unique, since the whale song’s structure does not fit the profile of any known beaked whales.
This was considered remarkable, since the sub-species of beaked whales are the only cetaceans known to be capable of using FM signals for their echolocation. They use upsweep pulses that are apparently unique to each species, and this particular signal does not match any of the 22 known species of beaked whales.
The signal known as Antarctic BW37 may also identify a new whale species, but it was only recorded six times.
“It remains unknown whether this belongs to a different beaked whale species than the one producing Antarctic BW29,” write the researchers, according to BBC. “Lastly, given that new species of beaked whale are still being discovered, the source of these Antarctic signals might be a species that has yet to be identified.”
This second whale song was at a higher frequency, and the research team is uncertain what type of new beaked whale could produce this particular sound. Since frequency corresponds to whale size, it is possible a smaller known species created this higher frequency whale song, but it is also possible the researchers have found a new whale species.
The complete findings of the research team were published in Marine Mammal Science earlier in 2015. The reason why there seems to be a hint of uncertainty in the researcher’s report is because finding new whale species can be difficult, especially in regards to sub-species of the beaked whales. These particular types of whales are known for being deep water foragers, and some of the beaked whales have been recorded diving down almost two miles for hours at a time.

Don't tell the Japanese or they'll make a new recipe just for it.

 

theyre robots

 

i hope not, Logan.....i hope not....When I was with group to save whales, they were most concerned with countrieds Japan and Canada.....

 

Welcome new friends

 

What wonderful news!!!!!

 

Cool. That's a pretty one in the original post.

 

Photo looks like a dolphin version of Bambi.

When I was a kid, I remember going straight home after school to watch Flipper (an old TV show staring a dolphin).

Dolphins are cool.

Speaking of whales.. I was looking for a place to post this vid today:

Awesome video, Justin that teared me up, as i don;t know how anyone can kill whales.....any whales....

Dolphins are wonderful.......The group i was with showed a video of a Japanese fishing boat as part of their educational process....these Japanese had a dolphin on their ship....that they were murdering....by slicing up...Dolphin was crying and screaming and flapping around. I had to leave the first time I saw that and balled my eyes out...and could never watch it again....

HOW????????????CAN BE PEOPLE DO THAT?????????

and they were laughing and joking the entire time.

 

WOW, we live with Dragons on this world, and they just happen to live in the Sea . Now if only we could stop hunting them.

 

I had some good news today...Humpback whale is off the endangered list......Best news I have heard in such a long time......YAY!
Now, I hope we can get them in larger numbers even.

People who work tirelessly for all of the endangered species are my heros....real heros....They make me cry with what they do and accomplish.

 

Just think how effective it would be if a law were to be passed saying it's ok to abuse animal abusers in the same manner they abuse animals? Wanna chain your dog up outside in the dead of winter with a choke-chain-collar? Here ya go homeboy- a nice choke-chain-collar just...for...you. And we get to keep you outside, rain or shine, in the heat of the summer or dead of winter.
Ok Mr. Animal-Murderer- Ya wanna shove hundreds of cats or dogs into a cage in the back of a truck to take off to a slaughterhouse? We get to do the same to you. And the same everything! No food. No water. Poke you with sharp sticks and kick you if you whimper.
Well well Mr. Fisherman. So ya like torturing a dolphin to it's death? You're next!

 

Yep...i often wish people who would torture would meet the very same fate, themselves....People like that are garbage polluting the earth.

 

I like the idea of <multiple paragraphs describing illegal torture techniques in detail removed>.

I have seen raw footage of what these fucks do to animals. Skinning cats alive...puppies as well, claiming it makes the meat tastier. Say, kinda like that restaurant in the Philippines that was busted for serving human flash.

When it comes to making a profit, mankind's inhumanity bleeds though. Anyone cruel to cats or dogs to me is a form of human life that should be exterminated in the slowest most cruel and painful manner imaginable.

You know the best way to punish human scum like Michael Vick? Sick his dogs on him. In the stadium. With everyone watching. And when the dogs are done, let him bleed to death.

 

I'll have to share this with Hubby. He sends donatations to the Sea Shepherds.

 

tell me something...how can anyone skin anything alive there, Logan? seriously.....
I was sad to be reminded of that again today. I think about how many out there must be in such agony every day on many days, and it is enough to make me want to quit for the day.....
Can you even call anyone that does anything like that a human being?

 

I don't know if YouTube has those videos any longer, you can google it and find them I'm sure.
