Summary edit

Description

New Bedford Whaling Museum, New Bedford, Ma. <a href="http://www.whalingmuseum.org/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.whalingmuseum.org/</a>

A pregnant northern right whale and the fetus she was carrying. This is believed to be the only skeleton of a female right whale and her fetus in the United States.

The northern right whale is currently the most endangered major species in U.S. waters; only 350 are believed to exist. Some of them meet their fates as this one did, struck by a ship, in this case off the Virginia coast in 2004.

The fetus, a suspected female estimated to have been 10 months along in its 12-month gestation period, measures 11.5 feet. Its bones alone weigh 70 pounds.
