Omura’s Whale

In 2003 the Omura’s Whale was initially described as a distinct species. But Salvatore Cerchio and a group of scientists captured photos of the whale off the coast of northwest Madagascar, marking that the first time the species had ever been filmed during field observations in October 2015.

Giant Squid

The Giant Squid aka the creature pulled straight from legends has moved into the realm of science since it was discovered back in 1878. Because it was so rare to see these squids, scientists assumed they were extinct. However in 2005 Japanese scientists managed to find another Giant Squid, reproducing the research. But did you know that Giant Squids are considered to be very intellectual yet dangerous creatures, especially to a host of other large ocean creatures.
