City museum to exhibit largest whale skeleton in China   2021-12-10

 

 

A dead whale has been granted a new lease of life at Shanghai Natural History Museum.

The skeleton of the male baleen, 24 meters in length and 3 tons in weight, is the longest baleen whale skeleton being exhibited in China. It will officially meet visitors at the center stage of the B2 floor on Friday.

The dead whale was washed shore in Shanghai's coastal Lingang area in March 2017. The body was highly decayed when it was found by local fishermen. Experts estimated it had been dead for more than 10 days.
