Since late August 2016, there has been a new permanent resident in the Nature Wing of the Coll\u00e8ge Lionel-Groulx: a beluga skeleton. According to students in the Natural Sciences program, this specimen will be \u201ca striking tool for raising the environmental and social awareness of other students.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the students\u2019 participation in a marine ecology course \u2013 organized for the last 23 years by the College \u2013 that drove them to undertake this project. This course helped them to understand the impact of their day-to-day actions on the health of the St. Lawrence. Students in the program wish to thank the College Foundation, which supported this project financially. \u201cThrough the symbol that [the beluga] represents, it reminds us of the intimate connection that we have with the St. Lawrence River and the importance of knowledge to help guide our actions,\u201d points out biology teacher Philippe Daigle.<\/p>\n

How does a marine mammal get rebuilt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very few people have the skills to flense, isolate, treat and assemble the skeleton of a marine mammal. Preparation of the beluga skeleton for Coll\u00e8ge Lionel-Groulx spanned more than a year and was performed by Pierre-Henry Fontaine, retired biology teacher and founder of the\u00a0Mus\u00e9e du squelette<\/a>\u00a0on \u00cele Verte. Preparing larger marine mammals can take decades.<\/p>\n

Large marine mammals can weigh tens of tonnes, which presents major challenges for recovering and transporting the bones. Smaller animals, on the other hand, can be cut up quickly in easy-to-transport parts.<\/p>\n

But the real issue is degreasing the bones. Marine mammal skeletons contain larges amounts of fat and the bones are very fragile, despite their size. As explained by Pierre-Henry Fountain, \u201ca whale is hardly able to use its fat cover (blubber) as a food reserve. This blubber is its thermal insulation \u2013 its \u201cdiving suit\u201d \u2013 without which it would rapidly lose body heat given that it lives in a highly heat-conductive environment. It will therefore be in its skeleton that it will accumulate reserves that it will draw from in the event that food becomes scarce. The bones of cetaceans are composed mainly of spongy bone, where fat reserves will accumulate, wrapped a relatively thin layer of compact bone.\u201d<\/p>\n

So how can the fat be removed without damaging the bones? Certain chemicals are effective at dissolving fat, but they are often toxic and expensive. Another option is to let nature, insects and bacteria do their work, by placing the bones in a water tank for several months or even years. They can subsequently be cleaned with hot water or degreasers, then bleached with hydrogen peroxide or simply in the sun.<\/p>\n

Assembly of the skeleton then begins: a genuine three-dimensional, several metre long puzzle!<\/p>\n

Marine mammal skeletons to discover Quebec<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre<\/a>\u00a0(CIMM) in Tadoussac is presenting an exhibit where one can admire thirteen complete skeletons, including a 13.5\u00a0m long sperm whale, minke whales, belugas, dolphins, porpoises and a very rare\u00a0Sowerby\u2019s beaked whale<\/a>. There are also two other specimens in the works: a fin whale and a\u00a0North Atlantic right whale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the\u00a0Mus\u00e9e du squelette<\/a>\u00a0on \u00cele Verte, there are more than 300 skeletons, partial skeletons and skulls. A unique place to discover osteology and how the skeleton has evolved through various adaptations.<\/p>\n

You can also admire a number of marine mammal skeletons at the\u00a0Station Exploratoire du Saint-Laurent<\/a>\u00a0in Rivi\u00e8re-du-Loup and at the\u00a0Aquarium du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>\u00a0in Qu\u00e9bec City, as well as a sperm whale skeleton at the\u00a0Mus\u00e9e de la mer<\/a>\u00a0in Havre-Aubert in the Magdalen Islands.<\/p>
