The NEPTUNE Canada observatory off the British Columbia coast, down on the floor, running tests and gathering data about the ocean. That data is sent to scientists around the world.
Here we have a series of models of various whales.

They are the biggest animal on earth, and the blue whale feasts on tiny animals- krill, a small crustacean that travels together. A sample of them are in the vial at right.
