Had the coolest day visiting @TessaPlint and @AnnaKebke at the @LyellCentre with two of our @strandings interns to see where the magic happens! They are using stable isotopes and fatty acids to uncover foraging ecology & life history secrets of #cetaceans πͺ π©βπ¬

The worldβs rarest whale may have washed up on a New Zealand beach. Spade-toothed beaked whales have never been seen alive. They are believed to be exceptionally deep divers, spending their time far below the surface hunting squid and small fish. https://t.co/kZJmfAUwsA

I canβt say it enough: The Sanday community is amazing. Their kindness and generosity made a very difficult mass stranding response so much easier π³π§οΈπ₯° #StrandingsTeamAssemble #Orkney

The cavalry came to help us take the pilot #whale skulls off the beach ππ³ The skulls are destined for museum collections @NtlMuseumsScot. It takes serious elbow grease to shift them, as they can weigh over 150 kg each! #StrandingsTeamAssemble #Orkney

Day 4 of pilot #whale mass #stranding investigation on Sanday, #Orkney. Decomposition has set in and the whales are well gooey by now. Today, the focus was on collecting the skulls, teeth, and scapula for our collaborators @NtlMuseumsScot π³π #StrandingsTeamAssemble

I found some interesting skate/ray cases washed up on the beach on Sanday, #Orkney where we are investigating the pilot #whale mass stranding. @SaltwaterlifeUK - any idea which species these belong to? π¦π³
