Whales have individual personalities and stories. Through this website you can learn about the lives of some of our most iconic gray whales that feed along the Oregon coast, including surviving major injuries, finding mates and having calves, and feeding in specialized ways. This website explains how scientists conduct research to better understand their ecology, behavior, and health. There is also a matching game to test your gray whale identification skills.
