Minke Whale Hybrid There are two species of Minke whales that literally live on opposite sides of the globe! The Antarctic Minke in the south and the Northern Minke in the Arctic. But it turns out that somehow these whales from polar opposite ends of the planet have come together and created a hybrid! 8. TYPE D ORCA In early 2019, a team of scientists identified and studied a group of mysterious killer whales living in the Southern Ocean, in some of the world’s harshest known conditions. 7. True’s Beaked Whale Beaked whales constitute one of the least-understood groups of mammals. The True’s beaked whale (Mesoplodon mirus) is one of the rarest species of all. These marine creatures are difficult to spot, let alone study, because they live in extremely deep waters! 6. Dolphin-Whale Hybrid According to a 2018 report, scientists from the U.S. Navy-funded Cascadia Research Collective marine mammal monitoring program have identified a rare dolphin-whale hybrid off the Kauai coast in the Hawaiian islands. 5. North Pacific Right Whale No thanks largely to commercial whaling, the North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica) was nearly wiped from existence during the mid-19th century. Today, it is the rarest large whale species, with an estimated population in the double digits. 4. Narwhal While you’ve probably already heard of narwhals (Monodon monoceros), the more you learn about them, the more mysterious they become. Nicknamed the “unicorn of the sea,” this Arctic Ocean-dwelling species is best known for the six-to-nine-foot (1.8-2.7 meters) long tusk that protrudes from the skulls of male specimens. 3. Blue Whale And Fin Whale Hybrid A whale that was killed off the coast of Iceland in 2018 made headlines when conservationists expressed concern that it may be a member of the protected blue whale species. 2. Spade-Toothed Whale The spade-toothed whale (Mesoplodon traversii) is the rarest of the 21 beaked whale species. It was first identified based on a partial jaw that washed ashore in New Zealand in 1872. 1. Narluga Narwhals are strange enough creatures on their own. But things got even weirder in 2019, when a shocking study documented one known instance of the so-called “unicorn of the sea” breeding with a beluga. #rarewhales #whalespecies #rarecreatures #originsexplained
