New Species of Whales

Researchers have found a new species of whale that was washed up on Desroches Island. It was described as a mysterious beaked whale based on studies of seven other animals founded on rare tropical islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans over the past decades. The issue relates to what I have studied in science because we've researched new species of different kind of animals that resemble to ancient extinguished animals. The position taken by the other was a positive one since, he established that every year new species of animals are found. This new specie was discovered by researcher Wayne Thompson and was published in the journal Marine Mammal Science.

This article means that since more species are coming to surface, the ones that are endangered maybe are mixing with other endangered specie and thats how new species are forming. I agree on the author's positive position, since it's true that every year more an more species are discovered. I think the author did support his position with sufficient information since he told us that the people who wrote the report on the Marine Mammal Science journal (a very trusted review) worked at the Island Conservation Society. I think the implication for the future about discovering new species is good because although animals are getting extinguished, new ones are found.
