These whales can grow to the length of 40-50 feet with a weight of about 40 tons. Gray whales are omnivores and enjoy feeding on amphipod crustaceans. Scammonâs Lagoon, of Baja California is an example of gray whales.
Because of their long visits, the whales have been nicknamed âresidentâ gray whales, the Pacific Whale Watch Association said. About 22,000 gray whales make an annual migration from California to Alaska, and many of them visit Washington state waters to feed. Thereâs a subgroup within the migration, about 200 of them, which make up a Pacific Coast feeding group. They donât go to Alaska and rather stay in the Pacific Northwest, Calambokidis said.
