Nature World News said the pair of conjoined whales was discovered on the Baja California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, on January 5. When discovered, the pair of conjoined whales died.
The researchers say the twins belong to a gray, undeveloped whale and may be born prematurely. This pair of whales only has a length of 2.1m. Meanwhile the newborn gray whales are usually 3-5 m long.
According to the team, data from the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, USA, has never recorded a case of discovering any conjoined twin whales in the world. Pair of whales in Mexico is probably the case found for the first time.
Gray whales are species that often live in Arctic waters. As an adult, a whale can have a length of up to 14m. They often swim to warm waters in Mexico during the breeding season.
