Hello, Baby Whale!
This baby gray whale is just three weeks old. His mother swam nonstop for 55 days to give birth in the best whale nursery she knows, a sheltered lagoon in Mexico. Her long journey south started over 5,000 miles away, in icy waters off Alaska and Siberia. In her 45 years, she has traveled the distance to the moon and back — and she's not done yet!
