Temperatures melt the ice. and they re using another scientific tool. oh, this is fantastic! the social, intelligent giants work together to catch krill inside a net of bubbles. as well as recording their behaviour, scientists use the drone to work out the whales weight. from the drone, we re measuring how fat it s becoming over the season, and that s really important because some populations around the world are getting skinny because they re not getting enough to eat because of climate change impacts. gb s coming up on the left, mom s pooping. one quick health check on this environment is to examine what s coming out of the animals that depend on krill. liquid gold! is that what i think it is? is exactly what you think it is, and it smells exactly like you think it would. it s whale poo. whale poo. yeah. by keeping a check on its gigantic residents, researchers hope to understand how to protect this fragile wilderness for
