“It may have been a little weathered, a bit beat up, but it was ours,” they said in an Instagram post.

“And it was displayed for everyone to experience and learn from. Someone, however, thought it may be better featured in their private collection?”

The aquarium identified the missing item as a porpoise skull — an item that they can’t just buy off Amazon.

“Though we wouldn’t try, we’d shop local!” they added.

The aquarium said that they would appreciate its return, no questions asked.
