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.
Since Omuraâs whales look similar to white Brydeâs whales, it wasnât until scientists performed DNA tests on the corpses that they realized the Omura's whale is actually a separate species. They look just like Brydeâs whales, except the right jaw of an Omura's whale is white and the left jaw is black. Omuraâs whales are also small, ranging between 35 and 38 feet long, about half the length of most blue whales. They donât produce much of a blow, which is typically the first visual sign that thereâs a whale nearby.
