Hubbs' beaked whale : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hubbs' beaked whale
Hubbs' beaked whale (''Mesoplodon carlhubbsi'') was initially thought to be an Andrews' beaked whale when discovered by ichthyologist Carl Hubbs; however, it was named in his honor when it was discovered to be a new species. This species has the typical dentition found in the genus, but its main outstanding features are a white "cap" on the head and very extensive scarring. The species is known from 31 strandings and one possible sighting. ==Taxonomy==
Carl Leavitt Hubbs, a noted American ichthyologist, published a description of a whale found alive in the surf near his office at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, in 1945. He believed it to be Andrews' beaked whale (a very similar species found only in the Southern Hemisphere), but Joseph Curtis Moore, an expert on beaked whales at Chicago’s Field Museum, reassigned it to a new species, ''Mesoplodon carlhubbsi'', in 1963, naming it in his honor.〔Reeves et al. (2002), ''Guide to the Marine Mammals of the World'', p. 288.〕
