FILE PHOTO: A gray whale’s tail flips out of the water in the Laguna San Ignacio on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula February 8, 2006. The number of gray whales making a yearly migration from the icy North Pacific to breed in Mexico’s warm lagoons has dropped this year, scientists say, possibly because of changing weather patterns.
