Gray Whales (WorldLife Library)
by Jim DarlingGray whales are a shallow-water species that inhabit coastal waters and lagoons. Alone in their taxonomic species, they live closer to land, and to humans, than any other large whales--characteristics that have made them easy targets for whalers. Unique in appearance, and in some of their habits, they hold the dubious distinction of being the only whale species with two extinct populations. Although often considered a conservation success story, the Asian Pacific population is still endangered. Jim Darling has been watching and studying gray whales for more than twenty years. He describes their life history, distribution, and massive migratory range of some 5,000 miles--the largest of any mammal--and he examines the threats that these social coastal creatures face.
