*** About Gray Whales: Gray whales, scientifically known as Eschrichtius robustus, occupy the North Pacific Ocean and are renowned for making one of the longest annual migrations of any mammal. They travel between their breeding grounds in the shallow lagoons of Baja California and their feeding grounds in the Arctic's cold waters. These baleen whales primarily feed on benthic crustaceans, which they sift from the ocean floor through their unique feeding technique involving rolling onto their sides. Gray whales play a crucial role in ocean ecosystems, helping to aerate the sea floor and redistribute nutrients through their feeding actions.
