An imposing Bryde's whale skeleton is displayed outside an aquarium.

Visitors were stunned to find the 55ft massive whale bone exhibit welcoming them at the Bang Saen Aquarium in Chonburi, Thailand.

Footage shows the display in the centre of the open hallway, where guests can be seen sitting along the sides of the gallery on July 26.

Bryde's whale is a medium-sized baleen whale found mainly in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. These whales feed on small fish and usually travel alone or in small groups.

Some populations of the whale are stable, while others, such as those in the Gulf of Mexico, are critically endangered due to threats like ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear. Conservation efforts continue to protect this species.
