Gray whales may be joining man as friendly seagoing mammals
San Diego AP reports marine biologists Fay Wolfson and James Antrim believe gray whales could adopt friendlier relations with humans. Wolfson recalls Nacho, an adolescent whale at Baja’s Tenacio Lagoon, playful with rubber rafts and approaching boats during four trips last spring, with plans to return after Arctic migration. Authorities note bans on hunting since 1936 and 1972. SeaWorld studied a captive whale, then released it, while researchers debate whether gray whales are developing a new attitude toward people.
