Gray Whales have no natural predators. Because of their sheer size (40 feet or more) and weight (40 tonnes or more) no predator has the size or strength to hunt and kill an adult gray whale. However, young ones are smaller (only 4 meters long at birth) and are vulnerable to predators like Sharks and Orca's. Though the chances of a young one killed by a predator with the mother being around are low, there have been cases where a young one has been killed by predators.
