Educational Information
Gray whales feed off the sea floor.A gray whale vacuums its meals of tiny shrimp-like animals from the sea floor. Lying on its side, the whale sucks loose sand and mud into its mouth and then strains the mix through rows of comb-like baleen to separate dirt from dinner. Grays spend summers feeding in cold Arctic waters. As fall approaches, they head south along the coast to breed and give birth.
