A gray whale reveals it's tail off the coast of Long Beach Monday, Jan. 6, 2014, much to the delight of whale watchers aboard the Christopher, operated by Capt. Dan Salas of Harbor Breeze Cruises in Long Beach. The number of gray whales spotted migrating south off the California coast in December was double what it was compared to the same period last year, raising questions about whether it reflects changing migration patterns or a population boom for the once endangered species. Dan Salas of Harbor Breeze Cruises in Long Beach said the 'ocean has just absolutely come alive' this season. (Photo by Allen J. Schaben/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)

DUXBURY, MA - MAY 6: An aerial view of a right whale erupting from the blow hole while feeding off the shores of Duxbury Beach. There were groups of the North Atlantic right whales swimming off shore. The critically endangered animals are making a comeback since they were nearly hunted to extinction a century ago. They are also making a habit of appearing off the local coastline in the spring. The whales feed on copepods by opening their mouths as they swim through masses of the tiny, but fat-rich, creatures.
