19th-century Weapon Found In Whale

19th-century weapon found in whale

A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt - more than a century ago. Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3 1/2-inch arrow-shaped projectile that has given researchers insight into the whale's age, estimated between 115 and 130 years old.

Wow, I did not know whales can live that long! This is amazing. I read in the article that some whales can live almost to 200 years. It obviously did not really hurt her since she lived 100 years more after the incident.

Interesting! I didn't realize they lived so long, either. 100 years ago, whale hunting was very dangerous business. Wonder what happened to the boat that held her attackers?

Wow! so whales are like turtles? They can live for over a hundred years? And wasn't whale hunting illegal anymore?
