Scientists have dubbed this enigmatic animal the Cross Seamount beaked whale
because it was near the Cross Seamount—an underwater mountain off
southwestern Hawai‘i—that they first heard its calls in 2005. Since then,
scientists haven’t been quite sure what to make of it. Some think the whale
might be a known species—maybe it’s actually the poorly understood
ginkgo-toothed beaked whale, an animal understood mostly from strandings.
Or maybe, McCullough suggests, it’s a previously undiscovered one: “I’m not
taking it off the table,” she says.
