The flukes are used to identify whales because just like birth marks, freckles or scars on a human all whales have specific characteristics that make it easy to tell the different whales apart. This is important when scientist whale watch in order to make sure there always watching the same whale. Its important to whale watch to learn the whales migration habits and also others that come along with it. I didn't think the lab was hard at all i thought it was fun :) but if you were to change one thing about the lab i would say to have us do more pictures.
