Grey whale mothers nurse their babies for 6-8 months giving them rich milk which allows them to
quickly gain the blubber they will need in colder waters. However, the mother barely eats during that
time and loses 1/3 of her body weight. She is near exhaustion by the time she and her calf begin their
10,000 mile migration to the Bering Sea.
Life lesson from a gray whale: Your parents love you very much, want the best for you always, and will do just about anything to make sure you are successful!!
