Scientists working off the western coast of Mexico say they have discovered a new species of whale. According to CNN, the whales the researchers have discovered have been previously unknown. Three beaked whales were spotted in November by a team of scientists working near the San Benito Islands. Researchers initially set out to find out what kind of whales were making an unidentified acoustic signal. What they found were whales that had never been before and a sound has never been recorded before. The whales' physical characteristics suggest this is a new species, according to the team.
The late, great French biologist Louis Pasteur once said, 'Chance favors the prepared mind.' A group of Dutch cancer scientists says they've discovered a pair of salivary glands that absolutely no one had ever noticed before. CNN reports the glands are hidden away in the skull, where the nasal cavity and the throat meet. The cancer researchers first came across the body part during a scan designed to look for tumorous growths. The 'unknown entity' cannot be seen on X-rays, or in ultrasound, MRI scans, or PET scans. Rather, the glands can only be seen in a new, highly advanced type of scan called PSMA PET/CT The scientists, from the Netherlands Cancer Institute, propose naming them 'tubarial glands.'
