Bahrain Science Centre

Bahrain This Week Newspaper - The giant skeleton that has been mounted on top of the archway in front of the Bahrain Science Centre is not a dinosaur, as many children (and even their parents think) but a whale. Why do people always regard past life as more interesting than the fascinating animals with which we currently share our planet? The skeleton is that of a Bryde's whale that washed up on the shore of the King Fahad Causeway between Um an Ha'san island and the main island about 20 years ago. Bryde's whales reach a length of about 15 m and occur in warm seas throughout the world.
