Ecology

Two grad students brought up a video and some samples of a whale skeleton that they found on the bottom of the sea floor. This was the first skeleton of a whale ever to be found on the sea floor that had all the bones there. The team was near the end of a cruise on the coast of California when they found this.

I think this is really cool that they found something on the bottom of the ocean floor for the first time. I was surprised at all the sea creatures that were decomposing the whale. I think that they should be very proud of themselves for finding it.
