Razstavljeno belo okostje mlade samice brazdastega kita, izjava Ivo A. BOŽIČ, Prirodoslovni muzej Slovenije, priprava in obdelava kosti - razsoljevanje in razmaščevanje, izjava prof. dr. KRYŠTUFEK, Prirodoslovni muzej Slovenije, izjava dr. Staša TOME.- Original language summary: Piran: po osmih letih od odkritja bo na ogled okostje 13 metrov dolgega kita, ki so ga ribiči leta 2003 odkrili v Piranskem zalivu. Najdba je močno odmevala, saj tako veliki sesalci le redko zaidejo v plitve vode. Strokovnjaki so kita najprej za nekaj mesecev potopili na dno morja, da so ostale le kosti in po več letih priprav bo okostje zdaj na ogled v Prirodoslovnem muzeju.- Piran: The skeleton of a 13 metres long whale, found in the Bay of Piran is after eight years finally on display. The find attracted a lot of attention, since marine mammals of this size rarely venture into such shallow waters. The experts first submerged the whale to the bottom of the sea in order to allow the flesh to be eaten or to naturally decompose. After several years of preparation, the skeleton is now on display in the Ljubljana Natural History Museum.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
