'World's rarest whale' washes up on NZ beach
A whale that was found dead on a beach in New Zealand earlier this month has been identified by scientists as a spade-toothed whale - a species so rare it has never been seen alive.
The five-metre long, beaked creature's identity was determined from its colour patterns and the shape of its skull, beak and teeth.
So, a spade-toothed whale has been identified by the shape of its teeth. You don’t say!
