BBC World Service - Discovery, Beaked Whales

Richard Black joins researchers investigating the world of the beaked whale.

BBC Environment correspondent Richard Black joins researchers off the coast of the Canaries to investigate the world of the beaked whale.

Somewhere out in the oceans is a family of secretive and mysterious animals about as big as elephants, but about which we know virtually. 

We don’t know where they live, how many there are, or even how many species there are. 

These creatures are the beaked whales; and in this edition of Discovery, Richard Black joins the scientists scanning the waters around the Canary Islands, using sound to peer into the whales’ mysterious submarine world.
