A fascinating museum exhibit has been captivating visitors for over two decades! The King of the Blue Ocean, a blue whale skeleton, has been on display at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts since 1998. What's remarkable is that despite being cleaned and preserved, it still drips oil from its bones - a testament to the whale's natural oily composition. According to museum curator Bob Rocha, this adds to the visitor experience, giving people a sense of what life was like on whaling ships. A clever system catches the oil, storing it in a flask for safekeeping.
