how exciting!! i’m glad a patron suggested the spade toothed whale! i was so excited and surprised to learn about beaked whales when i saw the recent articles about them. i couldn’t believe there was a type of whale id never heard of. amazing that they’re so rare and no one has really heard about them. we have shark week, i want whale week too!

[@aspie-anarchist9854]

Really shows how little we know. I mean orcas are massive mammals and probably in top ten most famous animals alive today. To think there is so much variation. But when you think about it there should be no surprises here. We consider them to be in the top most intelligent creatures and we consider ourselves to be at the top. And we have so much variation in our cultures, language, art, religion, governments so on. So why does it seem so shocking that orcas are so different from one another?

[@cerealexperimentsuboa]

[@zebedeemadness2672]

This new identified Type-D (Blunt-headed killer dolphin whale) is very likely a new species as are likely many of the current ecotypes. Like with the former ecotypes of Transient and Resident, now being species of Transient killer dolphin whale (Orcinus rectipinnus) and Resident killer dolphin whale (Orcinus ater), so more Killer dolphin whale species are going to come into light as they are identified.

[@Enigmom5]

Amazing video !! .., but I am still terrified of orcas since I watched the movie "Orca" as a young child 😮

[@AddyPierrePascual]

I like animals :)

[@jamesjohnson7905]

Clarification confuses me new species are declared with minor colour ,pattern , or physical changes and yet we are told there is only one species of human which exhibits lots of different physical characteristics irrespective of just colour if humans were all blue we could still tell the difference between a aboriginal a Scandinavian and a South American Indian ect

[@princesscloudberry]

ive learned something new today, i heard orca was from earth before because of tail bone

[@roywatts20]

What's going on with New Zealand and whales and fish beaching themselves?

[@Soulmodulation]

Knowing nothing and looking at a sea current chart, maybe its because the South Pacific current ejects the creatures into the East Australia current, washing up on beaches in NZ. Just a theory.

[@sarahluchies1076]

I am a big fan of orcas! I grew up on the West coast of North America, where the resident and transient whales live. I actually got to see one in the wild on a field trip on a ferry. I'd love to spend time studying their cultures, or maybe I'll write a fantasy book series about them, theorizing what those cultures are like and how they could interact with each other.

[@Shadowonwater]

Didn't the giant squid first get discovered from it washing ashore?

[@WildBillCox13]

Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux) was only known from specimens washed ashore and discovered by beachcombers.

[@DS.proudkiwi]

Grew up on few isolated islands around NZ,used to swim with wild dolphins and whales all the time but seen a couple whale bodies before. Some whales recently beached themselves out by my cousin's batch,i tried to tell my cousin to bury one of them in garden so we could get bones

[@randomusername3873]

I still can't grasp my head around the existence of beaked whales They are so fascinating yet so mysterious

[@Magy-zm6mx]

The giant squid was first confirmed to exist when in 1857, when a massive squid beak was found on a beach. Don’t remember where it was found though.

[@bencruz563]

I like how large species can go unnoticed but marine biologists will still try to tell you how many of other marine animals there are.

@@juleswins3 no,i meant like,A.A.N included only Animals that Washed up in NZ, on purpose.

[@nidohime6233]

It just happens New Zealand is a great spot for finding beached animals because it covers both the Pacific and the Antartic oceans, and they have a high developed marine research facility in the country, making it easy to study rarelly seen animals.

@all.about.nature1987 Well, to be fair, it didn't look aquatic, wouldn't have fit that theme, and, ya know, it's kinda in the Bigfoot and chupacabra categories. But I appreciate you having the respect to respond to the suggestion

[@ChimeraActual]

I seem to recall other pelagic whales of a size and coloration of an Orca, but were not considered Orcas. That's probably all changed now, but how?. They were called False Killer Whales, Pilot Whales, and there are probably others. BTW, there is something unique about those playful Orcas near Gibraltar. When Bluefin Tuna became very valuable, Mediterranean Tuna fleets became very efficient at catching them, and providing sport for those Orcas who preyed on Bluefins. Besides decimating the Tuna, it was suspected that those fleets practiced some very aggressive anti-Orca techniques. Do the Gibraltar Orcas hold a grudge?

[@trevorstevenson4038]

Yeah! Megalodon is definitely out there!

[@lilys3036]

[@ghostshirt1984]

Megalodon is extinct and there's no proof of megalodon still alive.

[@kiki29073]

The first one looks like a piebald orca. Lol

[@robrice7246]

14:35 I know you talked about Rice's Whale from your "surprising discoveries" vid, but wasn't the holotype described from a washed-up specimen?

[@CrimsonReapa]

another reason type D orcas weren't discovered until recently is bc they have a very low population number, they are suspected of being endangered with estimates suggesting they are likely critically endangered as the DNA collected from those skin biopsies shows a low genetic diversity compared to the other orca types, as of right now there conservation status is data inefficient but they are most likely the rarest orca type by far.

[@tonyfrancl]

Can't think of any notable species that have washed ashore. Did see a rather mundane animal washed ashore, a seal. Not sure what kind it was, however; it was the setting that made the event notable. It was in Chile North of the city of Antofagasta, at a natural monument called La Portata. We managed to get down to the beach, which was at the base of huge white cliffs that were composed of marine shells and other calcareous organisms which apparently are millions of years old.
