🦴🐋 🧬 The whale skeleton that hangs in Nantucket High School may have been holding an unknown mystery for decades, one that may soon be unlocked. Researchers from the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC traveled to Nantucket today to drill holes into the specimen - believed to be a juvenile finback whale that washed up on Nantucket in 1967 - and collect DNA samples from its bones.

This is the first sperm whale to wash up on Nantucket since 2002. The 50-foot male, which was found dead on Sunday along the island’s north shore, is estimated to weigh 52 tons. Sperm whales, which were hunted by Nantucketers for their spermaceti oil all over the world during the 19th century, are the largest toothed predator on Earth. The species is classified as endangered, and it’s a rare occurrence to spot one - alive or dead. After meetings with officials from the National Oceanic & Atmosph
