Humpback Whale ID Shots

Here  are a couple of examples of Humpback Whale Flukes. I send these off to Whale Researchers at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, BC where they can be identified or catalogued in their database. They identify the ridges of the tails and the obvious markings on the tails themselves. Some whales are coloured white, plain black or both. I find it nice I can take nice whale pictures but at the same time pass them on to help create the catalogue.
