Challenge Question #6

Challenge Question #6:
" What were the poorest years of calf production since gray whales came off
the Endangered Species List? What might cause a good calf year? What might
cause a bad calf year?"

The poorest years of calf production since the gray whales are off the
endangered Species List were the years 1999 and 2001.
I think that a good calf year might be caused by having good food and plenty
to eat. I think that the weather would be good, not a lot of storms.
A bad year would be when there was a lot of storms and not a lot of food to
eat. If there was pollution, that would make some of the food die and not
have the whales have enough to eat. Predators are also bad news for whale
calves.
