Greenland or Bowhead Whale Breaching

The slow speed, shallow dives, and multi-unit groups that characterize bowhead whales [Balaena mysticetus] made them a prime target for whalers. In 2007, a Civil-War-era ivory spear was discovered deep in the blubber of a bowhead hunted by the Canadian Inupiat. Amino acid racimization of the whale’s corneal tissue showed that she was between 150 and 155 years old, suggesting that the bowhead is the longest-lived mammal.
