Mating grey whales

---

Mating grey whales (Eschrichtius robustus). Grey whales are found in coastal waters, migrating from Arctic waters to tropical equatorial waters to mate. The mating ritual often involves two males and one female, with the dominant male mating with the female while the other male holds the female in position. The grey male penis (pink) can reach two metres in length. Photographed in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
