World's Rarest Whale Spotted

Description:The rarest whale in the world has washed up on a shore in New Zealand. The spade-toothed beaked whales were first identified by bone fragments found on a remote island in the Pacific in 1872. Since then, the only evidence that the whales existed was two incomplete skulls found in New Zealand and Chile. In 2010, a whale mother and her male offspring were found washed up on Opape Beach in Northern New Zealand. (1:01)
