Summary Introduction
To review:
The source of energy used by gray whales during their stay in Mexican waters.
Introduction:
Gray whales are classified as a type of baleen whale as they filter their food from water via special kind of bristly structures present in their mouth. They mostly stay close to the shore as they feed in the shallow water. In summers, the gray whales live-off the coast of Alaska and in winters they migrate to Mexican waters. During their stay in Mexican waters, they consume very little or sometimes no food.
