Cryptid Cetaceans, page

In my usual searching of wikipedia for cryptid information, I came across a couple of unknown whales that may interest the community here at ATS.
Up first is Gigloli's whale, a species of rorqual spotted by the zoologist Enrico Hillyer Giglioli. It supposedly had 2 dorsal fins, long flippers and no throat furrows. It was spotted in 1867 off the coast of Chile, then again in 1868 off Scotland. Finally, Jacques Maigret spotted a similar creature between the French mainland and the island of Corsica in 1983.

This is Giglioli's depiction of it.

The next specimen of interest is the Rhinoceros Dolphin, a two-finned dolphin spotted near the Sandwich Islands and New South Wales. It may be a genetic mutation, or possibly a new species.

Ignoring the rest of the description for a moment, the two dorsal fins, their size, and positioning makes me think more along the lines of a adult female being followed by her calf. The fins look like that of a blue whale, as well.
