I received an opinion from a marine mammalogist who has a tremendous =
amount of experience dissecting dead baleen whales.

He feels that the whale that live stranded was a sei whale because of =
the following:

Ventral pleats are black on the down right side

Medial flipper is black instead of white

Rostrum bends ventrally at the very tip which should stay straight in =
finners

Hopefully the New Brunswick Museum will be able to recover the skeleton =
for their collection.
