How Scientists Study Whales
Researchers identify individual whales by photographing their tail flukes.
Each humpback whale has a unique tail pattern, allowing scientists to track:
• migration routes
• feeding patterns
• population health
This research helps scientists better understand the recovery of humpback whale populations along the Atlantic coast.
