This 22-foot inflatable right whale appeared in the CVM courtyard recently, thanks to efforts by Dr. Mike Walsh, co-director of the Aquatic Animal Health Program. Walsh was able to borrow the whale from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association to educate his students about the species as part of a course he teaches.
