Answer: New Zealand
Notes: New Zealand scientists have potentially made a significant discovery by identifying a spade-toothed whale washed ashore on a South Island beach. This species is among the rarest in the world and has never been seen alive, leaving its population size, diet, and habitat largely unknown. The identification was based on the whale's unique physical traits, such as its skull, beak, and teeth, underscoring efforts to enhance understanding of marine biodiversity in the southern Pacific Ocean.
