Introducing… The Whale, Secrets of a Stranding

Available for over a year

A whale washed up on the Cornish coast, its head was removed to a secret location and quickly entered local legend. Dive into the scientific world of marine biology, travel across the ocean to a whale whisperer in New Zealand and back to a burial site in Cornwall – where we discover a skull and explore who put it there, and why.
