Blue Babe is on display at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Otto Geist
Museum, there are several websites with photographs of the specimen on
display. One of which is:
http://www.alaska.edu/opa/eInfo/index.xml?StoryID=180. If this is not what
specifically what you are looking for, I would suggest contacting the
curators at the museum (http://www.uaf.edu/museum/main.html). They will
probably be able to supply more specific images. Good luck
