Whales

    Today we did a lab where we got a whole bunch of pictures of whale tails, and then we had to match about 5 of them to the exacted whale.  At first I thought this would be easy but it was alot more difficult than I thought it would be.  It had alot if older pictures of the whale and some I the matches didnt even look alike, I think it would have been alot easier if the pictures were covered and not as blurry.   This lab is actually used in really life for scientist though.  They use these flukes to identify whales after years, months, or even just weeks.  These are important because we use these pictures as almost a database and experiment to watch the whales life and know there living habits.
   


   Having these pictures helps us know for one thing the whale is still alive and also know that it's stays in the same area or doesn't.  Whales are magnificent creatures and day to day we try to learn more and more about them.  I liked this lab because it was realistic,  and people out there actually do it as a job.  If I have to change something it would just for the pictures to be more clear.  Also maybe talk about how scientist use these and how they help.
