The Big Idea:
The unique evolutionary adaptations, mysterious behaviour, and global ecological importance of Great Whales (the largest mammals on Earth) in the Canadian Atlantic compel us to act now to save them — from our own behaviour that is putting them at risk.
Description:
Great Whales: Up Close and Personal features the ROM’s beloved blue whale alongside two new skeletons: the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale and the deep diving sperm whale. With multi-sensory interactives and immersive experiences, Great Whales compares these three unique giants, from their size and diet to their intelligence and evolution, while highlighting the extensive ongoing research and conservation efforts being undertaken to save these mammals from extinction. Dive in and discover these incredible great whales of Canada's east coast, their complex relationships with humans, and what we can do to save them.
