An official said that the carcass of this whale has been kept in cold storage. A DNA sample will be sent to Auckland University. After a few months of study, many clarifications can be given by taking the DNA. There is a need to know about this whale at the international level.
The scientific term spade-toothed whale was first given in 1874. At that time only two teeth were found. Later skeletons were found in New Zealand and Chile, but this is the first time that this whale fish has been found with its entire body in such a well-preserved condition.
