3. Project Description Design an apparatus that will be used to present three- dimensional objects to a beluga whale. Develop a functioning match-to-sample procedure. Design 3-D Objects. A sample object is shown to the whale, then the sample object is removed and finally three choice objects are presented to the whale. The whale’s task is to select the choice object that matches the sample. Tool for research with Beluga whales at Mystic Aquarium. Assess the Beluga whale’s visual and auditory perception.

4. Key Challenges Mystic Aquarium located in Connecticut Team communication Budget and Time Salt water Objects must be immune to rust Durable for up to 12 months Limited space inside of aquarium Portability of apparatus and objects
