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.

What is the gray whales predators?

Orca's are the only known natural predator of the gray whale. Groups of Orca's can easily kill a mid sized gray whale. Full grown adults are too big for even a group of Orca's to kill. But, babies are especially vulnerable. The Gray Whales give birth to their young in shallow lagoon waters. This is done to protect the newborn from predators like sharks and orcas
