4/17/18 - Dramatic footage of the season’s second recorded gray whale predation event in Monterey Bay involving the CA140′s. These highly coordinated attacks involve separating the gray whale calf from its mother, and then repeatedly body slamming and sliding onto the calf to push it underwater and drown it. The mother gray whale attempts to protect the calf by lifting it up onto her body and out of the water.
