Come along with me and visit the rarely seen Cetacea (whales and dolphins) research collection storeroom at the Natural History Museum, London. In April of this year I was fortunate enough to meet with Richard Sabin (Principal Curator, Mammals
Vertebrates Division, The Natural History Museum). Richard showed me the skeleton of a whale which was found in 2010 in the mud of the Thames at Bay Wharf, Greenwich. The likelihood is that the whale dates back to the 17th century. I spent a fascinating afternoon with Richard as he showed me round and told me wonderful whale facts - including the fact that whales have earwax!
Thank you Richard, and thank you to fellow mudlark Oscar Potter for filming us.
Thank you for watching.
