The spade-toothed beaked whale is so rare, nobody has seen one alive. But scientists are sure it exists. Researchers from New Zealand and the United States describe the discovery in a paper published Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012, in the journal &quot;Current Biology.&quot; They say it's the first time scientists are able to describe the world's &quot;rarest and perhaps most enigmatic&quot; marine mammal.
