Humpback Whale Skeleton

The Bowhead whale's all articulated. Please note the tail is mostly gone as is the flipper. The spine looks really odd because the damage inflicted to the spinous processes of the last four Thoracic and first Lumbar vertebra. We'll be adding in elements from a second Bowhead to fill out the flipper and manufacturing the missing vertebra. Eventually this'll be animated by Hannah Foss at the University of Alaska Museum of the North in their upcoming film about Bowhead whales. #ivl3d

Bowhead whales spend their entire lives in Arctic waters, using their massive bony skull to break through the ice to breathe. It may be the longest living mammal, sometimes living more than 200 years. They were once thought to live 60-70 years, however in May 2007 a specimen was caught in Alaskan waters with the head of an explosive harpoon embedded deep under its neck blubber. The harpoon was manufactured in New Bedford, Massachusetts around 1890, suggesting the animal may have survived a similar hunt more than a century ago and triggering research into its longevity.
