Sperm whales prey on giant squid. However, the predation scene has not recorded on video. Bio-logging is useful for surveying animals that live in inaccessible area. In contrast, it is not easy to mount a camera to sperm whales. To tackle the problem, we have developed both an attaching system with a drone and a dropping-type adsorption logger. It is desirable that the logger can be attached not only to the horizontal body surface but also to the sloped body side surface. In this paper, we clear the effects of center of gravity for adsorption capability for the slope.
