Southern whale fossils found in the North for the first time
Scientists have unearthed two fossils in Italy and Japan, belonging to a whale species which is known to live in the Southern Hemisphere for the past 10 million years. The fossils dating back from 0.5-1.9 million years closely resemble other confirmed species, the study revealed. Glaciation near the South Pole probably pushed the whale to temporarily move north, researchers said.
