I loved it but it broke within a couple days and I was so sad because I was so happy about that bracelet!!
Love the bracelets and love tracking my animals. I just purchased two more, and in September I’m purchasing another one for my class (1st and 2nd grade) to track and research.
It really means a lot to be able to donate and put efforts into our animal conservation and bring awareness of why so many animals are endangered or critically endangered due to poaching habitat loss climate change these are real real issues. So for me being able to purchase a beautiful bracelet and then get to show it off I’m also helping spread the word, hoping that others will follow suit and purchase bracelets on their own.
I absolutely love these bracelets! I’ve gotten both the hammerhead, and manatee one and decided to buy a few more! Among the whale one I have bought a shark and Whale Shark bracelet as well! These are fun if you love tracking an animal of your own and learning more about them! Surfs out! 🦈💙
I like both my bracelets very much, I ordered more, but now there seems to be an issue with delivery. The app works very well so far, I get updated on movements and the information they provide is cool.
I genuinely appreciate all that Fahlo and their partnerships do for animal conservation. My bracelet came quickly and I was able to start tracking my whale immediately. I look forward to the content and information shared about each of my animals. Keep up the great work!!!
I started tracking Steinar right away. He was tagged off Sweden in March, and has since traveled over 7,200 miles. He came down to the Caribbean for mating season, and it looks he’s now headed back toward Sweden.
"Whales are tracked to understand their movements and their diving behavior since our tags record at which depth they feed or travel. Understanding where they go is great, but we also try to investigate why they do so. What drives their movements? It can be many factors, such as food, finding mates, or avoiding predators such as orcas. In addition, individual whales do not use the same areas or migratory corridors to feed and to reproduce. Each individual is unique, and they all have traits and personalities that change from one animal to the next!"
"To track whales, we use satellite tags that we implant in the fat tissues. A small antenna transmits information to satellites that we can then access on our computers and even our cell phones! The tags are amazing pieces of technology. They can provide several locations each day and even record dive depths of individual whales, so we can understand what they do, how fast they travel, and how deep they dive, which are critical indications of their behavior (e.g. feeding, traveling)."
"Tracking does not harm the whales. The tags we deploy are specifically designed to not cause pain or discomfort. We deploy tags in the dorsal section of the body, where the blubber layer is, protecting whales from the cold and maintaining the animal’s buoyancy. The whale has limited nerves that can cause pain to the animal. Whales are our passion, and before being scientists, we love them, and we always try to minimize our impact on their lives."
Sperm whales are named for the oily, waxy substance in their head known as spermaceti. Historically, humans used the material for things like oil lamps and candles. Spermaceti’s actual purpose is not confidently known, though some scientists suspect it aids with buoyancy or helps to focus sound.
How big is a sperm whale?
The largest of the toothed whales, male sperm whales can grow as long as 52 ft (15.8 m), with females reaching lengths up to 40 ft (12 m). Their weight ranges significantly between males and females, with the average male weighing up to 45 tons (40.1 metric tons) and females weighing in at up to 15 tons (13.6 metric tons).
How long can a sperm whale hold its breath?
Sperm whales are professional deep divers! They can hold their breath for up to 2 hours without surfacing, though the average dive lasts around 90 minutes.
How many sperm whales are left?
Sperm whales span the planet’s oceans (except those with ice!) with an estimated 300,000+ individuals remaining. They were nearly hunted to extinction in the 1800s and early 1900s due to excessive commercial whaling, but the population is trending upward.
