Even on dry land and with no flesh on its bones, this whale is still a stunning sight. This 9m (29ft) skeleton of a young humpback was washed ashore near Barry in 1982. It’s thought to have been killed by a large piece of timber during a storm in the Atlantic while accompanying its family south for the winter. Poor thing ended up spotlit and gawped at in a museum’s natural history display.
