That would be very very illegal. And weird. But holy shit illegal. (Was part of the Marine mammal education resource program over a decade ago)

Very illegal even if the animal were deceased.

Mr. Kennedy, he wrote, may have violated not only the Marine Mammal Protection Act (1972) and the Endangered Species Act (1973) — two seminal marine conservation laws — but also the Lacey Act of 1900, a conservation law signed by President William McKinley that prohibits the transportation of illegally gathered wildlife, dead or alive, across state lines.

Wow, yeah, I wasn't expecting it to be that illegal!

Yeah. If he still has the skull, there's the potential for prosecution.

He's probably trying to ditch it. Has anyone checked the ponds in Central Park for a partial dead whale lying under a pedal boat?

It also might be disguised as a pedal boat
