After decades of research, a new species of whale has been discovered in the Gulf of Mexico.

Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration discovered that the Bryde’s whales that live in the Gulf are actually a new species now called Rice’s whale.

A couple of incidents of stranded whales allowed scientists to study them, but the breakthrough came in January 2019, when a 38-foot-long whale washed ashore in the Florida Everglades, according to Live Science. The stranding provided plenty of accurate samples that helped lead scientists to the discovery.

Wow, this species is doing all kinds of weirdo crap that is so not like its...........oh, wait. It's a new species.
