Put on your swimsuit and get ready to swim with the fishes as we deep dive into the wonderful world of whales! The ROM's beloved blue whale, Blue, returns this year in our special Great Whales: Up Close and Personal exhibition. Biologist and Assistant Curator of Mammalogy, Dr. Burton Lim, joins us to talk about the extraordinary expedition that Blue took to get to the ROM and her new friends Alulgwet, the sperm whale, and Alasuwinu, the right whale. Discover what makes their lives in the ocean so unique--from how they feed to their extraordinary evolution--and how we can all help save them from extinction. Simulate blubbered skin for an icy bath or get crafty with your own whale creation!
