The grey whales spend the long summer days in their Arctic feeding grounds in the Bering Se
18、a between Alaska and Russia. Unlike a fish, the whale is warm-blooded and must therefore maintain a relatively high internal body temperature. In the cold Arctic waters the grey whale is protected by an outer layer of blubber which averages six inches in thickness. Other whales such as the Greenland
19、 Night whale have been found with a two-foot thick layer of blubber covering their bodies.2.

Recent observations of a young grey whale, Gigi , h
20、eld in captivity at Sea World in San Diego during 1971 and 1972, suggest that the grey whale feeds by sweeping its enormous head over the bottom. The amphipods on which it feeds are either stirred off the bottom or leap off the bottom to escape. These animals and the surrounding water are sucked int
21、o the whales mouth. As the water is expelled from the mouth, it passes through coarse baleen fibres. The small animals are trapped and swallowed.3. In October as the days get shorter and ice begins to form over the Arctic feeding grounds, the California grey whale begins its long journey south to th
22、e warm waters of Baja, California. During this three-month long trip the whales travelling in groups stay close to the shore of North America, swimming both day and night and averaging abut 100 miles per day.4 During the trip south the grey whales that are sexually mature, at least three years old,
23、and not pregnant already, form mating groups. These groups are composed of three whales, two males and a female. The dominant male couples with the female while the second male is kept busy positioning the two whales on their sides facing each other and keeping them together during the sex act. This
24、 is no small job, since each whale can be fifty feet long and weigh forty tons.5. During December and January the grey whales arrive at the warm lagoons along the coast of Baja, California. The whales swim miles inland along narrow shallow channels. These channels are the breeding grounds of the Cal
25、ifornia grey whale. The calf has been gestating in the pregnant female for the last thirteen months, that is, since her last journey south.

26、hale must breathe at the surface. The midwife guides the baby whale to the surface for its first gulp of air. The calf then finds its mothers nipples and rich whale milk is forced into its mouth. During the next two months the calf will grow twenty feet and double its weight.6. In March the whales b
