Today, we drove about an hour and a half to Todos Santos on the west coast of Baja California Sur in hopes of catching a while migration.

We were lucky and spotted gray whales just off the beach in Todos. Watch the video and see if you can spot the rainbow in the beginning! ?

Every year between late December and mid-March, thousands of gray whales make their annual migration through the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Baja California.

The whales migrate 5,000 miles from the cold waters of Alaska’s Bering Sea to the warm waters of the Baja Peninsula. It is the longest known mammal migration in the world.

For years, these magnificent animals had been hunted nearly to extinction and have just barely survived as a species. Now, ocean temperature changes and food availability, toxic algae blooms,oil and gas development, fishing gear and nets, and collisions with ships are the biggest threats to the survival of these animals.
