The gray whale feeds differently from the way any other whale does. it swims on its side on the ocean bottom and pushes water out of its mouth between its baleen plates, stirring up sediment, from the ocean floor. Then the whale draws back its tougue and sucks the sediment, and any living thinga around, into its mouth.As the whale rises to the surface, it rinses its mouth with fresh seawater and swallows the catch. This mkethod of bottom feeding is something called ''grubbing''.
