Hi all,

I have a random question - in the National Museum of Natural History's
old ocean hall, they had a life-sized replica of a blue whale. There
was a story behind it, something like there was a real whale there at
one time but it shrank as it dried out and the replica was made. I
always loved that replica. In the new hall, there's a replica of a
North Atlantic whale instead.

Does anyone know why the switch was made?
