#but yeehaw whale bones are cool

[leopardsealz-remaking]

im lucky my dad has a licence to hold cetacean remains...its cool

here are bones we have:

fin whale vertebra + rib (both from same whale)

common dolphin skull

partial unknown dolphin skull

cuviers beaked whale vertebra

various small vertebrae from most likely dolphins and/or porpoises

the fin whale remains are monstrous its the 2nd largest animal on earth so even 1 vertebra is so BIG. the central part of the vertebra is as wide if not wider than my body. the rib is around 2 metres long if i remember correctly. ive carried both pieces at the same time jhdghd
