The Mangroves Cell of the Forest Department has decided to preserve and display the skeleton of a Blue Whale that washed ashore dead in Kegaon village in Navi Mumbai's Uran.

The cell transported its skeletal remains to Airoli from Uran on Monday. In the three hours journey, the remains were moved in a 40-feet trailer, with three cars escorting it - two at the back and one at the front - to ensure a smooth ride, and prevent rash drivers from hampering the ride. The skeleton of the marine mammal will be kept on display at Airoli's Mangrove Cell Coastal and Marine Biodiversity Centre.
