Imagine searching the ocean for five years, chasing a mystery sonar blip—then a rare, tusked whale pops up! Scientists had only seen this species dead, so seeing it alive was wild. But plot twist: they shot it with a crossbow (just a tiny biopsy, not a Moby-Dick moment). The DNA shocker? It wasn’t the whale they expected. The ocean’s still full of surprises, and now they’re hoping more of these ‘ghost’ whales will show themselves! #Science #whale #science
