Gray Whale Photo ID Lesson for Journey North by Dr. William Megill |
Example #1
These two photographs are of whale G003, photographed near Cape Caution, BC. The
circles and arrows point out some of the identifying marks in the pigmentation of
the whale. Remember that the animal is in a different orientation relative to the
camera in the two shots, so you'll have to rotate the whale in your mind to make
the marks fit.
