        The 12.4 m long male sperm whale was discovered on January 8, 2016 together with another sperm whale on Wangerooge. The skeletons of the animals were uncovered during a section and disassembly by the Dutch taxidermist Aart Walen and his team as well as numerous helpers. The size of the skeleton is impressive. And that the skeletons of the fins look like human hands really surprised me.
