About Whales as Individuals
Humpback Whales can be individually identified by patterns on their tails (flukes). Once we know whales as individuals, we can learn their personalities, as well as better understand behavior, conservation issues and population trends. But comparing thousands of individual fluke patterns becomes very difficult and time-intensive. Your annotations on Humpback Whale tails (flukes) help us guide computer algorithms to match new whales to whales we've known for years.
