Scientists now believe it is possible that the mother whale had a miscarriage. It is also possible that the twins were born prematurely, most gray whales are born in late January or early February (the conjoined whales were found in December).

Many species of whale are extinct because they were hunted for their bones and meat. For example, the North Atlantic gray whale went extinct in the 18th century.
But, on a positive note, the Eastern North Pacific gray whale is considered a species of “least concern.” So, this turned out not to be a monster story after all. But, it had you going for a while – right?
