Like to take pictures of wildlife? You can help scientists out.
Those who captured detailed pictures of whales sent them to Happywhale, an organization that tracks the migratory patterns of whales through photo submissions using the unique markings on the animals' tails. "It's just like tagging, but it doesn't harm the animal," said Ted Cheeseman, founder of Happywhale. "Getting answers to scientists' questions takes a huge amount of data. Because of these photos, it seems likely we will be successful."
