Researcher Noted in Report on Dead Whale Calf
Dan DenDanto, a UMaine researcher in the School of Marine Sciences, is involved in the investigation into what may have killed a 6-month-old humpback whale calf that washed up on Little Cranberry Island last week, according to the Bangor Daily News. DenDanto, who is a research associate of Allied Whale, a mammal research group that salvaged the skeleton of the whale, will articulate the skeleton so that it can be displayed at a museum or school.
