Gray Whale Mother and Calf | Eschrichtius robustus

Gray whale calf (Eschrichtius robustus) looking up from the water at people on a boat, with its large mother in the foreground. Hairs are visible on the juvenile whale’s head, underscoring the fact that whales are mammals. The adult’s blowholes are clearly visible as well, once again emphasizing that these animals breathe air, just like we do.
