Artist's Description
When a large whale prepares for a deep dive, he arches his back, moving the central part of his body above water to get a better downward angle. The arching gives the whale a humpbacked appearance. With his head in position, he moves downward. The last thing you see of him before he disappears into the depths is his fluke sticking straight up above the water. Called fluking, this diving posture gives researchers a good look at the tail markings, which can be distinct enough to identify individual whales. Some whales, notably fin whales and minke whales, don't fluke.
