I have this boss ass picture I took there a couple of years ago as my lock screen.

There’s a pair of red pool noodles shoved through the holes on the sides of the Grey Whale skeleton’s cervical neck vertebrae. These were my end of class project for Zoology and they represent the blood vessels the cetacean used in life to inflate the size of its tongue to filter feed.

Fossils from the Sierra College Natural History Museum, part 2

#fossils #whale #museum #sierra college natural history museum #science museum #This museum is so cool #All the surrounding walkways and sidewalks are covered in life sized silhouettes of animals #Theres a fake alien skull in the big skull display #They did a dinosaur model fundraiser where you could pay to donate a bone to the model #And the old zoology teacher immediately bought the middle finger and dedicated it to the paleontology professor #This was the same zoology teacher that held the ladder while I shoved red pool noodles into the Grey Whale mount
