2 When humpback whales dive below the surface, they have to lift their tail flukes out of the water, showing a special black and white pattern on the underside. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ca276/6201035098/lightbox/

3 Flukes range from all white, to all black, and everything in between. They are as unique as a human fingerprint or birthmark. http://whale.wheelock.edu/Welcome.html

4 Step 1: Pick two or three special markings on your fluke picture.

5 Step 2: Match those marks to the flukes on the Fluke Catalog pages.

6 Step 3: Once you make a match, learn the name of your humpback whale. This whale’s name is Springboard!
