Inflatable Whale Visits SSC

Posted on August 5, 2016

Our summer campers got to learn about whales in a unique way: by climbing inside one! Staff members from the Blue Ocean Society recently brought their inflatable baleen whale named Ladder to the Seacoast Science Center. Our campers were able to go inside to see the whale’s skeleton and organs, and learn how whales breathe, eat and swim. Afterward, they were able to handle real baleen and bones, and learn more about these magnificent creatures of the sea.
