The gray whale is one of the animal kingdom’s great migrators. Traveling in groups called pods, some of these giants swim 12,430 miles round-trip from their summer home in Alaskan waters to the warmer waters off the Mexican coast. The whales winter and breed in the shallow southern waters and balmier climate.
Q. Do gray whales travel alone?
Gray whales are frequently observed traveling alone or in small, mostly unstable groups, although large aggregations may be seen in feeding and breeding grounds. Killer whales prey upon gray whales.
Q. Are GREY whales aggressive?
Whalers called Gray Whales “devilfish” because they would actively attack whaling boat and surface under small whaleboats, especially when calves were threatened. This aggressive behavior made them one of the last species to be hunted commercially despite their habit of staying close to shore.
Q. Do gray whales like humans?
Without a doubt it is thrilling when a large, wild, free-ranging gray whale appears to be interested in humans in boats that come to see the whales.
Q. Do snakes audibly fart?
But some species also swallow air and then expel it out their butts. That counts as a fart too. Sonoran coral snakes have an anus-like hole called a cloaca that can suck in air and then expel it with a popping noise to ward off predators. Yup, that’s a fart.
Q. Do flies fart?
“The most common gases in insect farts are hydrogen and methane, which are odorless,” Youngsteadt says. “Some insects may produce gases that would stink, but there wouldn’t be much to smell, given the tiny volumes of gas that we’re talking about.” Do All Bugs Fart? Nope.
Q. Can snakes see color?
Snake eyes Having multiple types of visual pigments inside the cones allows animals to see in colour because these pigments are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. Snakes are therefore likely to be dichromatic in daylight, meaning they see two primary colours compared to the three that humans see.
Q. Can snakes see like humans?
They can use their eyes to create a visual image of the world around them, just like humans do, or they can use their extraordinarily sensitive infrared sensors to create a similar image based upon heat emitted by objects in their environment.
Q. Do snakes smile?
“One in every 20 animals can have a smiley face on it,” said Kobylka, but in his 19 years of breeding snakes he has never seen another snake with three smiles. And this snake has a lot to smile about.
