Public presentation about excavating blue whale on December 4

In May 2008, teams from the University of British Columbia and Atlantic Veterinary College excavated the 20-year-old remains of a blue whale near Tignish.  Join us as AVC Wildlife Pathologist, Dr. Pierre-Yves Daoust, speaks about his experience, using the excavation to illustrate some remarkable adaptations of these magnificent animals to their environment.  A question and answer session will follow the presentation, and some biological specimens will be available for viewing.

The presentation will take place on Thursday, December 4, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Lecture Theatre A at the Atlantic Veterinary College.  Everyone is welcome. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. Donations to the Friends of AVC will be gratefully accepted.
