REDONDO BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A Pacific gray whale put on a show at Southern California's Redondo Beach, popping its huge head out of the waves and rolling around in the surf.
The
Daily Breeze newspaper (http://bit.ly/1M3vUHj ) recorded video
Wednesday as the juvenile whale spouted water and scratched itself in
the sand just feet from the city's beach and pier. Dozens of onlookers
watched in wonder and many snapped photos.
Alisa
Schulman-Janiger, director of the American Cetacean Society, tells the
newspaper that the yearling was probably making its first annual
migration without its mother. Gray whales commonly migrate this time of
year from feeding grounds in Alaska to Baja California lagoons, where
adults mate and give birth in the warm waters.
An annual census has documented more than 1,420 grays passing by since December.
