   the whale only known by its sound

   Scientists have dubbed this enigmatic animal the Cross Seamount beaked whale   
    because it was near the Cross Seamount—an underwater mountain off   
    southwestern Hawai‘i—that they first heard its calls in 2005. Since then,   
    scientists haven’t been quite sure what to make of it. Some think the whale   
    might be a known species—maybe it’s actually the poorly understood   
    ginkgo-toothed beaked whale, an animal understood mostly from strandings.   
    Or maybe, McCullough suggests, it’s a previously undiscovered one: “I’m   
   not   
    taking it off the table,” she says.
