The Mysterious Twilight Zone Whale

  • Resumen

  • Humans have visited space more often than the depths of the ocean. And that's because the deeper we go, the more dangerous the water pressure becomes for us. At about 1,000 feet, the pressure could crush us! But lurking 3,000 feet underwater, in the mysterious Twilight Zone, is the Baird's beaked whale, a torpedo-shaped giant with a bird like beak!

    When one of these incredible creatures washes ashore in Washington, scientists at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture get to crack some deep sea mysteries. Get ready to head to the Twilight Zone (metaphorically!) as we track down the Baird’s Beaked Whale and find out how these elusive creatures withstand the crushing pressures of the deep ocean.
