Amazing. I will miss the dinosaur but I hope that putting focus on an animal alive in our oceans today will encourage people to care about protecting the amazing wildlife that exists all around us today!

Dippy was iconic, I first saw her when I went there as a kid and enjoyed seeing her all the times I have gone back since but once I found out Dippy was just a plaster cast model and that no full skeleton of a Diplodocus had ever been unearth, that display lost it's prestige in my eyes. I'm happy that we finally have a real skeleton on display, a skeleton of an animal much more worthy of our attention and admiration.

We do have a full skeleton more or less, if you combine specimens. What do you think the cast was molded after?

Imagine putting that thing up in 1934. Jesus that must have been some work

I went to the museum when the whale was in the old space, the dinosaur in the main hall was amazing also, I just did not catch why they moved o.o But was amazing being able to see these two. The museum is incredible, very rich in history, is a super history class with outstanding exemplars.

"the dinosaur" 💀

it's almost like the museum is a whole separate world! I had such an amazing feeling watching all these people work together to bring this extraordinary specimen to its new place, can't imagine how it would feel visiting the place! Totally have it on my 'must visit' list now!

I visited the natural history museum in early 2020 from Australia, I was absolutely blown away by this skeleton. I hope I can come back sometime soon.

No mentions of it's origins.. It was beached on the east coast of Ireland wexford in 1891

I always would liked to had seen both skeletons together in the same room. Where only here in the world could there had been the real life size comparison finally of the two greats that has been interpreted countless amounts of times already in books and art size concept size charts online.

Not only is the blue whale the largest animal to ever roam the earth (that we know of), it's an actual full skeleton and it still roam the ocean today and is therefore a great reminder for all visitors to take good care of our planet and oceans, so that these magnificent animals (hopefully) won't go the way of the dodo (or Dippy). Great choice by the NHM to display it!

Perucetus live reaction: 😐

I absolutely adore the blue whale

I grew up and live on the northeast coast of America, the ocean is more than just a body of water to me, my mom put me in the waves as a month old baby, she said I pulled away until she caved and was shocked at my ability to get pummeled by little waves and come up laughing, it sounds crazy but I'm more comfortable in the ocean, something instinctive deep in the primitive party of my brain, I truly feel a connection I can't verbalize. Thanks Mom.RIP🙏

0:35 we nearly had the titanic meme 'it's been 84 years'

I hope Dippy will be back one day, and even if it's not to be she left a very lasting legacy

Signing it seemed to really cheapen the experience tbh

I feel so grateful to have had the chance to see this blue whale skeleton in the museum. The visit was one of the best.

was it really necessary for you to sign it?

I used to have lectures every week in a building called the zoological institute (i study psychology, but i guess that was the only place that was available). It’s quite small but in the hall there are a lot of preserved animals, taxidermy or kept in alcohol which always creeped me out. They also have a skeleton of a whale hanging off the ceiling. But its hanging just by wires and looks very unstable. I could not, will not, would not walk underneath it. I (still) have this (ir)rational fear of it collapsing on top of me when i walk underneath it. I am that unlucky person that would happen to. Am i alone?

They said too many people were touching it even though the signs specified otherwise to do it and was causing damage. That's one reason I've heard. *Edit* just reading the comments of how it's a plastic mould and now my answer is completely obsolete... 🙃🙃🙃
