Rare Conjoined Gray Whales Found Off Baja

• Fisherman found two conjoined gray whales off the coast of Baja, California,
•  The rare calves died shortly after being born.
•  They were linked at the waist, with two full heads and tail fins, said marine biologist Benito Bermudez, who is a scientist with the National Natural Protected Areas Commission, or CONANP, said the AP. He said that scientists were collecting skin, muscle and baleen samples to study them.

•  The gray whales were found on a beach inside the Ojo de Liebre lagoon near the town of Guerrero Negro, Baja Peninsula, Mexico on Wednesday.
• Every year more than 20,000 gray whales swim to Mexico from Alaska to mate and give birth.
