that's insane... never thought these things lived that long.  QUOTE The bomb lance fragment, lodged in a bone between the whale's neck and shoulder blade, was likely made in New Bedford, Mass., then a major whaling center, Bockstoce said.
It was probably shot at the whale from a heavy shoulder gun around 1890. |

Is there no way this fragment could have somehow lodged its way in the whale another way... like the whale is only 15 years old, swimming along, and runs into something that lodges this old fragment into its neck... I dont know... thats pretty old.
Whats up with all these cool animals being killed? In some African country, pochers killed one of the two last white rhinos in that country... now there is only one left in the wild in that area. |
