Just as we were packing up to head west to the wild outer coast to guide and support the BBC to film sea otters up close and in the wild for their new Oceans documentary, we received a call about a Cuvier's Beaked Whale skeleton that had washed up in southern Haida Gwaii.  Thanks to our amazing friends and colleagues, Leah, Marina and Neale, we were able to collect this truly interesting specimen, which is slated for display in the new interpretive building in Gwaii Haanas National Park in 2018.  Stay tuned for more!
