My
name is Olivia and I am 7 years old. I loved seeing the whales.
I liked petting them even more! The lagoon is called Ojo de Liebre,
which means Jackrabbit because that is how the shape of it looks.
I learned that baby whales are called pickleheads and I
saw why—they
look like big black pickles! The baby whales are born black. They
turn gray as they get older and get barnacles.
