Whales

Flukes are used to ID whales because each fluke is different, like a person's fingerprint.
Scientists need this data because it helps them track how  and where whales travel through the ocean.
The most difficult part of the whale fluke lab was finding matching marks on the flukes. A change you could make to this lab to make it better would be to let us match more than four whale flukes.
