Another whale in a forest

 

Thanks to Emma Joanne Lee for posting this pic of a whale skeleton in a forest -- on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.  Before you get too excited, apparently it's just about 50m from the shoreline, and it's the skeleton of a juvenile whale killed by commercial whalers, left on the beach to rot and then moved by the locals to a place where it could be preserved as a local curiosity -- and maybe to keep the beach clean.......

The whale found in the submerged forest at Freshwater West some time before 1921 is much more interesting, and much more likely to have come about as a result of natural processes.....
