Meet the Whales
Get to know some of the gray whales that are frequently observed off the Oregon Coast.
Buttons
Buttons is a chameleon, as he has been misidentified on three separate occasions!
Clouds
Clouds, and her son Cheetah, are a mom-calf pair that we have documented every year of our study since Cheetah’s birth in 2016!
Equal
Equal’s unfortunate encounter with a boat propeller has provided us a fascinating insight into a gray whale’s stress response!
Moby Dick
Moby Dick gets her name because she has a whiter pigmentation than most other gray whales, much like the famous white sperm whale in Moby Dick.
Roller Skate
Roller Skate is a tough lady as she survived a traumatic entanglement around her fluke!
Scarlett
Scarlett is perhaps the most iconic and well-known gray whale along our coast!
Sole
Solé seems to be a true Oregonian – a home body who knows what she likes and sticks with it!
