The Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum

In addition to chronicling Cold Spring Harbor's past as a whaling village, the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum also features exhibits on the natural history of whales, like this skull of an orca or killer whale.

Orcas are among the largest whales and this specimen reveals its razor-sharp teeth. Adult male orcas can grow to 30 feet in length and the females of the species aren't far behind at about 27 feet in length.
