KOBO (whale)

KOBO hanging in the Jacobs Family Gallery at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

KOBO (King of the Blue Ocean) is the skeleton of a 66-foot-long (20 m) juvenile blue whale on display at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The whale was accidentally struck and killed by a tanker and brought ashore in Rhode Island in March 1998.[1] It was named by New Bedford sixth-grade student Katie Hallett and put on display in 2000.[2] It shares the gallery with three other whale skeletons: a 37-foot (11 m) male humpback named Quasimodo,[3] a 49-foot (15 m) female North Atlantic right whale named Reyna who was pregnant at the time of her death, and Reyna's female fetus.[4]
