New Cetacean Species (or, Who Cares About Peccaries?)

This morning Mathias told me that he’d heard about two new species of cetacean, which naturally caused me to flip the hell out.  I tried searching online for any info, with very little success.  I easily found information about a new species of peccary.  Actually, there were a lot of articles about that peccary.  But who cares?  Peccaries have four legs.  Big deal.  So do most mammals.

I have to wonder what this world is coming to when the only website to care enough about this is Cryptomundo.  But, sure enough, that was the only place I could find information about two possibly new cetacean species:  a dwarf orca in the Antarctic, and a beaked whale.

I’ve actually been excited about the prospects of new orca species for some time.  They are a great example of evolution happening as we speak.

So, thanks, Cryptomundo!

Stumble it!
