Meet Delilah, a Life-sized Inflatable North Atlantic Right Whale

The Wilks Branch of the New Bedford Free Public Library will host Delilah, the giant whale, and story time.

We know whales are big, but do you know HOW big? Step inside this inflatable whale and find out!

Delilah, designed by artists AND scientists, is a life-sized inflatable North Atlantic right whale, measuring 45 feet long. Her measurements are based off of a real whale who lived along the East Coast in the US and Canada. Delilah fits 20 adults or 30 kids at a time, so step inside and take a look at her giant lungs, skeleton, spine, and ribs…and hear her story!

Delilah and her family are part of the North Atlantic right whales - an endangered species with fewer than 360 individuals remaining.
