Scientists Reveal a Rare Kind of Whale

Researchers who study rare species of whales in the northern Pacific Ocean have finally had an unexpected job.

The research ship at the Bering Sea has photographed two unknown creatures, while one of them has been sampled for biopsy, the National Administration for the ocean and atmosphere (NOAA) announced.

It's about new species of whales, the total number of which is only 30 to 50 sosh, says Philip Klapam of NOAA. He points out that whale hunting has markedly reduced their numbers in the early 20th century.

The biopsy results are expected to provide more detailed information on food, hormone reproduction.

The last time the real whale was seen was ten years ago, writes “Washington Post”.

Whales are an outstanding example of the complexity and diversity of life on earth, but few are known about them.
