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.
The primary foraging strategy of baleen whales is to. locate dense concentrations of prey, since they cannot. obtain their daily caloric requirements by feeding in. areas of average food abundance (Nemoto 1970, Brodie 1977, Murison & Gaskin 1989). The foraging. strategy of gray whales Eschrichtius robustus is similar.
