Lonely Leviathan Plays Hide and Seek in San Pedro Harbor
A 60-foot gray whale nicknamed Willie wandered into San Pedro Harbor mistaking it for a meeting with a lady whale. The playful animal dodged Coast Guard patrols and LAPD boats, surfaced near reporters, and swam the channel in a game of hide and seek before returning toward the entrance. Dr. William L. Lloyd of Cabrillo Beach Marine Museum notes the behavior as typical and playful for gray whales, though they rarely venture close to shore.
