Six -gray whales were found in the San Francisco Bay area during the past week.
Gray whales were found dead from May 21 to Wednesday, when one wash was found on the beach at Reyes National Beach, The California Academy of Sciences said.
On Monday, two were found on the same day – one on the Catrazing and one in Pinta.
In most cases, no anatomy has been carried out, similar to an animal corpse. The academy said that the partial anatomy of a general gray whale was found in Polanas is not decisive, and the results of the autopsy in the whale were found on Wednesday.
Officials said the whales died, as a large number of them were unusually monitored in the Gulf of San Francisco.
Why did the whales die were not clear.
“This is the open question, why,” Giancarlo Role, spokesman for the Marine Mammary Center in Sosalito, I told the NBC Bay area this week.
“Why are there not only many whales died in the region, but why was the banner of a banner represented in the presence of more scenes in the live Gulf of San Francisco whales than what we saw in decades at least, if any?”
The academy said that 14 gray whales and the Mink whale died in the Great Bay area of San Francisco, and it was found that the death of three of them was a boat strike.
More gray whales were seen in the Gulf this year compared to the past, as it represented – 33, compared to only six in 2024.
Some said that some seem natural and others have humor.
“The cause or the possible causes behind the huge rise in the scenes this year are still being investigated by researchers,” the academy said. “The gray whales in the Gulf are expected to be for a week to two weeks before continuing their annual northern migration to feeding lands in the Arctic.”
Gray whales were common in water throughout the northern hemisphere, but they are now only regularly in the North Pacific, According to the national marine fish fisheries servicePart of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. They said that they were traveling about 10,000 miles in the Immigration and forth annually.
The agency said that the gray whales are known about boats, which means that they are often seen on whale watching trips. It can grow to about 49 feet and weigh about 90,000 pounds.
Because of the long migration, the whales sometimes develop vessels and intertwine in fishing equipment, which is among its most important threats, says fish fisheries service.
