3D reconstruction of grey whale stranded near Jarvis Inlet after being trapped in a tidal lagoon for four months

Caption

3D reconstruction of grey whale stranded near Jarvis Inlet after being trapped in a tidal lagoon for four months. (a) Straightline length calculated in Scaniverse. (b) Tail fluke measurement (underestimated if straightline length used). (c) Anterior flipper measurement, underestimating by 10% due to water cutoff. (d) From mid dorsal looking towards head. (e) Front dorsal towards tail obvious ‘peanut head’ as a result of extreme emaciation before death captured in the 3D reconstruction. (f) Animal post necropsy. Credit: Cottrell et al., 2025.
