A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt - more than a century ago. Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3 1/2-inch arrow-shaped projectile that has given researchers insight into the whale's age, estimated between 115 and 130 years old.

However, since whale specimens are rare-either harvested from beached whales or sick aquarium residents-scientists know only the basics of their brain surface anatomy and are virtually ignorant about what goes on underneath.
