Believe it or not, conjoined whales are not new to science. They have been seen before in Fin whales, Sei whales and Minke whales – but conjoined gray whales have never been documented before.
Scientists in Baja, California, discovered the twin carcass floating in Laguna Ojo de Liebre. The newborn twins were severely under-developed, which led scientists to wonder whether or not the birth or stillbirth might have claimed the life of the mother, too.
Newborn gray whales are usually between 3,6 and 5 metres long, these little guys were a meagre 2 metres.
