A pair of conjoined gray whale twins was found dead in Guerrero Negro, one of the gray whale calving lagoons on the Pacific coast of Baja California. This is a very rare event to photograph. This link has some footage and some details. The calves did not survive, but may have been full-term. http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/nature/post/conjoined-gray-whale-calves-discovered-in-baja-california-lagoon-find-could-be-a-first/

When there’s lots of life (plankton and bait fishes) in one area, a “feeding event” can happen. Birds, including boobies, gulls, pelicans, and frigatebirds, and mammals such as dolphins, sea lions, and whales might all converge to feed together. It’s usually a high-energy scene with so many feeding animals all the same place!
