OceanX | Why is whale snot so important? @OceanX | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Whale snot is super valuable to science, but it's super hard to collect. Enter Snotbot, our friends at @oceanalliance have developed a way to collect crucial whale data by flying Snotbot, a modified drone into the plume of air they expel from their blowholes when they surface. The snot inside that plume is FULL of information about health, genetics and behavior.
