Because of Hunting & Whaling by humans. Gray Whales have been hunted since the 16th century. Humans have been whaling gray whale species for over 4 decades now. This hunting has significantly reduced the gray whale populations. The north atlantic population of gray whales were totally wiped out due to whaling even before the 19th century. Around 1950, governments worldwide declared the gray whale as an endangered species and banned whaling them

There were still a decent number of these animals after the country's worldwide put a ban on their hunting. Ever since, their numbers have increased naturally.
Gray Whales feed on benthic crustaceans that are found on the sea bed. The whale scoops up sediments from the sea floor and filters out edible particles and feeds on them. There is no documented evidence on how much a gray whale would eat, but considering its size and weight, it should be a few hundred kilograms or more of food in a day.

To escape the frosty winter in the north. Each October, as the northern ice pushes southward, small groups of gray whales in the eastern Pacific start a two to three-month, 8,000-11,000 kilometers trip south. Traveling night and day, the gray whale averages approximately 120 kilometers per day at an average speed of 8 kilometers per hour. This round trip of 16,000-22,000 kilometers is believed to be the longest annual migration of any mammal
They're able to hold their breath for about 2 hours.
The Gray Whales food chain should include: Animal with competitors; foods including plants; predators and the sun:
Competitor: Killer Whale
Foods: Amphipods (small shrimp like animals), Crab Larvae, Herring eggs, etc.
Predators: Killer Whale, Sharks, and human.
Gray whales are baleen whales. The Sperm whale is the only really big toothed whale.
Breeding behavior is complex and often involves three or more gray whales. The Gestation period is about one year, and females reproduce biennially. The calf is born tail first, and measures about 4 meters in length at birth. 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

I cannot. Because, Adult blue whales have no natural predators. They are too big and too strong to be attacked and killed by any animal. However, Orca's (Killer Whales) are known to attack and kill youngsters. A group of Orca's can easily hunt a baby blue whale if its mother is not around. Otherwise, they have no natural predators
Adult, healthy whales are large and powerful enough that the only predator that they need fear is man. Humans have hunted grey whales for millennia. Young, sick or injured whales could be food for sharks, orca, or any other large and fast oceanic carnivores.
Blubber for warmth- streamline body for better swimming and its teeth act as a sieve to filter krill out of the water. and lastly it takes naps instead of long sleeps because if it does it would drown.
