Flying robot to track whales off Australia: report
A flying robot is to join the fight to save the world's whales by taking part in an aerial survey to count humpbacks off Australia, a report said Sunday.
The remote-controlled drone will patrol waters off Australia's North Stradbroke Island, taking pictures scientists hope will enable them to count the migrating whales, Sydney's Sun-Herald newspaper said.
Scientists hope using the five-metre (16-foot) wingspan drone will result in a more accurate estimate of the animals' numbers and help convince Japan to stop its annual whale hunt.
