    I think 'Feared Extinct' is actually quite a popular term used by the Press, to hype-up rediscoveries to qive them more exciting emphasis. Obviously some species really are 'feared extinct' e.g. Thylacine, Night Parrot etc but for many others, this doesn't really apply- but it sounds more interesting than 'gone unnoticed' or that 'just nobody looked for it for six decades'...;)

    New species of whale are often being discovered especially beaked whales but the fact that an already known population of a well known species is possibly a new species makes it interesting.

    Hey, why are you defending that whaling nation by deleting my post?
    This in not racism.
    They would gladly exterminate all the whales if the rest of the world will be indifferent.

    Your wording was racist. Consider this an official warning. Further racist, offensive, and inflammatory posts will result in a ban.

    The term you used to describe a Japanese person is what I believe jbnbsn99 is talking about.

    the term, the tone, and the intent. Ditto for other comments in a similar vein elsewhere.
