      From: fungus@amongus.com.invalid              https://hakaimagazine.com/news/the-whale-thats-known-only-by-the       sound-of-its-voice/              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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
