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.
Gray Whales feed on herring eggs and larvae that they find in the grass beds that eels use in the summer and spring. This is the only species of whale that consumes food by straining the sediment that is found along the floor of the sea or ocean. They have been observed rolling around on their sides after they dive to the bottom of the water.
