Gray whales feed off the sea floor. A gray whale vacuums its meals of tiny shrimp-like animals from the sea floor. Lying on its side, the whale sucks loose sand and mud into its mouth and then strains the mix through rows of comb-like baleen to separate dirt from dinner. Grays spend summers feeding in cold Arctic waters. As fall approaches, they head south along the coast to breed and give birth. Stunning scale model ocean replicas expertly sculpted with the collaboration of the scientists of the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California. This unique colletion of ocean creatures are found in the waters off the coast of the Half Moon Bay which is where the aquarium is located. It is approximately 100 miles south of San Francisco. The mission of the aquarium is to foster ocean conservation and protect it and its sea dwellers throughout the world. Safari shares this commitment with them.
