It is beautifully written and filled with fantastic mesmerizing underwater photographs of sperm whales - something we wish we could have for this web site. A lot of priceless knowledge at a bargain price. Them whale bones. Well it went something like that. Anyway, the song was right.
Whales have real bones.
Real bones made with real calcium. Whale bones are on display in many museums and can be found on many beaches where a dead whale washed ashore or maybe where a beached whale died. Everything else, including cartilage, usually rots away. But bones, real bones, stay awhile. The skeleton of a whale consists of a skull, a backbone, a rib cage, and a collection of bones that are part of the flipper, but correspond closely to the bones in the human arm and hand.
