Breathe and Blow
Gray whales can only breathe above water; they breathe through blowholes on top of their head. These tourists to the lagoon get a close look! Do you find the blowholes? Whales don't need to breathe as often as we do because they take in such huge amounts of air! Check out this video clip to see and hear a whale breathe and blow.
