The Living Relic: The 200-Year-Old Whale That Swam with a Harpoon in Its Blubber

Talk about holding a grudge. In 2007, scientists found a harpoon tip embedded in a living bowhead whale that was over 200 years old.  
The weapon fragment was dated to the 1870s, meaning this incredible animal had survived a Victorian-era whaling attack and swam for well over a century with the proof still in its body. It’s living history.
