Blubber Rules: Whales at National Geographic

SO WE'RE REALLY INTO whales these days. Maybe it has to do with the intense high-seas previews we saw for Animal Planet's "Whale Wars" when we went to see "Twilight" last week. Or it could have something to do with the fact that we're feeling more akin to them as 30 days of holiday overeating approaches. (Insert blubber joke here).

Whatever the reason, we're nerdily stoked about the Whales | Tohora exhibit at the National Geographic Museum's Explorer's Hall. A model whale heart! Giant skeletons! Videos of a sperm whale hunting giant squid! Man, oh, man this sounds like something that even Captain Ahab himself would get excited about.

» National Geographic Explorer's Hall, 1145 17th St. NW; through Jan. 18.; Mon.-Sat., 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sun., 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; free; 202-857-7588. (Farragut North)
