Can you tell me if there was any sort of cartilaginous or ossified femur remnant attached to the pelvis?

I’ve recorded instances of a femur remnant in all baleen whales but the pygmy right whale and sei whale so far.

Was hoping if you could shed some light.

This whale died when it stranded last year. Te Papa and New Zealand is committed to non-lethal research and don’t kill whales for research purposes.

Whales strand for various reasons. You can find out more about this comples issue on our website:

The scientists are currently writing up their findings – stayed tuned!

I am curious about what you found. So many structures that have been declared vestigal in the past have turned up to have function. I am curious about if the pelvis has any hint that it is still performing a function too. Care to post?
