The conjoined whales were indeed joined at the waist, possessing two complete heads and tail fins.

According to Bermudez, scientists are in the process of collecting samples of skin, muscle, and baleen, which is the filter-feeding system used by these mammals, for research purposes.

It’s worth noting that every year, a ѕіɡпіfісапt population of over 20,000 grey whales migrates from Alaska to Mexico for the purpose of mating and giving birth.
