Description Last month I visited the Cambridge University Museum of Zoology with my wife and sister. Here, I fell in love with their orca skeleton who was very clinically only known as C.93.B. I received an email from the museum telling me more info on him; he is indeed a male, who passed away in Bodeström, Norway in the 1880s. I couldn't resist trying to paint over a photo I took of his skeleton during my visit to visualise what he may have looked like over 130 years ago. It was a challenge due to the way in which he was articulated, particularly the pectoral fins! I decided to keep it 1-to-1 with the skeleton's articulation so apologies for any inaccuracy.
