Whale watching is so popular that many people find this application to be entertaining, educational, interesting and useful. We certainly hope you enjoy it.

When using this application, bear in mind that this expert system is meant for demonstration purposes only; it is not definitive. If you want a more informed identification of your observed whale(s), you should consult your government's Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans, marine biologists at your local university, a published reference work, or visit one of the Web sites listed below.
