DescriptionGray whale feeding at Yaquina Head.webm
English: Spectacular sight! Gray Whale feeding just feet from the rocky Oregon Coast shore at Yaquina Head, July 26, 2019. BLM video: Meredith Matherly. The video shows a Gray Whale feeding on its side, with a fin coming out of the water, near Quarry Cove on the southern side of Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Gray Whales can be 12–15 m (40 to 50 feet) in length and weigh up to 40 tonnes (90,000 pounds). Although Gray Whales are not as common as they once were, they can be seen every month of the year off the Oregon Coast. They hug very close to shore to reduce their exposure to orca, or killer whales.
