How to use "Obscure" in context?
One of the most intriguing things about the world is how obscure certain things can be. From ancient cultures stillHidden in the jungles of South America, to animals that few people have ever seen, it is clear that there is much to explore and learn about the world we live in.
There are many obscure animals out there that few people ever see, but some of the most obscure are those that live in the oceans. From the elusive sperm whale to the enigmatic Japan Humpback whale, there are many remarkable sea creatures out there that deserve more attention from the general public.
Perhaps the most obscure of all sea creatures is the blue whale.
