A New Species of Whale

Around a new species of whales In September 1998, a group of scientists discovered an amazing and unique discovery while heading to the Sea of ​​Japan. So they gathered the medium-sized whale bodies. This is the ninth specimen needed to complete this new discovery. This type of bearded whale resembles a different whale, a whale whale. However, the size of this corpse is much smaller. After comparing external morphology, skeletal and mitochondrial DNA data, scientists were able to classify all the species they found into new and different species.

Do you occasionally encounter a whole new whale at work? For marine biologist, environmentalist and educator Asha de Vos, he is an expert in the Sri Lankan blue whale, all in one day's work. She talked to us more about the recent findings - about the North Indian Ocean, the whale of a big village on the coast of Sri Lanka - and why this finding is important. Omura's whale (Balaenoptera omurai) was listed as a unique species of Japanese whales in 2003. Just 14 years ago - surprisingly given that they grew to 33 feet and were not completely microscopic! They have distinctive long and narrow bodies and asymmetric signs. Prior to 2003, this species was found in specimens of death found in the Atlantic Ocean, the East Pacific, the Indian Ocean in eastern and western, and Iran. But we still can not answer basic questions. What are their ranges, or how many are they?

It is rare to find a new type of whale. Advances in DNA research have helped scientists identify five new cetaceans over the last fifteen years, but two of them are dolphins. This animal of the genus Berardius appears to be very different from its nearest relative, which lives in the North Pacific region where it has conducted marine mammalian research for decades. Molene and his team examined the remains of St. George, removed bone meal from the old museum specimens, and reviewed the DNA tests of the whale of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. They studied the skull and scorpion and analyzed the records of the Japanese whaling fleet. They even track skeletons hanging from the ceiling at a high school gym in Aleutian Islands.

Whale sharks and whales are large-scale marine organisms. Whale shark is the largest fish in the world, blue whale (1 out of 40) is the largest animal on earth. Unlike whale sharks, whales are marine mammals. Whale sharks live in tropical and warm waters, but in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere like cold water. Due to unlimited hunting and marine pollution, the number of whales and whale sharks has dramatically decreased. In addition to the larger size, whale sharks and whales do not have much in common. The basic difference between whale shark and whale is as follows.
