According to biologists, they found a Bowhead whale living more than a hundred years off Alaska. Evidence for this is a piece of 19th-century weapons found in this 50-ton whale.

The above whale was caught off Alaska last month. A piece of arrow-shaped weapon embedded in and deep inside the whale's fat layer showed that he was hunted by Inupiat people in Alaska.

According to John Bockstoce, a curator of the New Bedford Whale Museum, the whale may have been hit by the name of the famous New Bedford whale hunting center back then, around 1890. This shows the whale. This may be nearly 130 years old.

"This finding provides evidence for recent hypotheses that whales have a lifespan of more than 100 years," said biologist Craig George.

Until now, it was rarely discovered that a whale lived for more than a century, but experts say the whale's longest life can be nearly 200 years old.
