The grey whale is mottled grey with numerous white, yellow or orange patches of barnacles and parasites around the blowhole, on top of the head, and on the fore part of the back. Males are 35-50 feet, 28-38 tons; females 42-50 feet, 34-38 tons. This is the scruffiest of the great whales.
Grey whales occur in the shallow coastal waters of the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort Seas with small populations from Oregon to southeast Alaska. In the spring they migrate to summer feeding grounds in Alaska.

Gray whales have a streamlined body, with a narrow, tapered head. The upper jaw is arched in profile, and slightly overlaps the lower jaw. The rostrum (upper jaw) is dimpled and each of the little depressions contains one stiff hair. There are 2-5 grooves on the ventral throat 5 feet (1.5 m) in length.
The gray whale received its name from the gray patches and white mottling on its dark skin. On the skin are many scratches, scattered patches of white barnacles, and orange whale lice. Newborn calves are dark gray to black, although some may have distinctive white markings.

" grey
no offense but spelling check is needed"
The USA spells it "gray". The rest of the world spells it "grey". If anyone needs to check the spelling it is the Americans.
