Description

Gray whales are rather enormous baleen whales belonging to the family Eschrichtiidae. They are sometimes called grey whales, California gray whales, Pacific gray whales, or gray-black whales. Grey whales inhabit the waters of eastern and western North Pacific and are known for the longest mammal migration yearly between feeding and breeding grounds. Besides, they are usually aggressive and prefer shallow waters of the continental shelves. These marine mammals spot gray patches with the skin having white molting. Other characteristics of the gray whale include lack of a dorsal fin and very short baleen with females being larger than males.
