Although<br \/>\n the speed may vary, it falls between 4 and 12 kilometers per<br \/>\n hour.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Swimming gray whales use a combination of shallow and deep<br \/>\n dives. Usually three to five shallow dives are followed by a deep<br \/>\n dive. Shallow dives are one to two minutes long. Deep dives are<br \/>\n usually three to eight minutes long.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n In this simulation, we have provided for a 1.5 kilometer per hour<br \/>\n swimming cycle with two shallow dives and one deep dive.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n When feeding, gray whales can stay underwater for up to 20<br \/>\n minutes. Unlike humans, whale breathing is a voluntary action.<br \/>\n This means a gray whale has to think to breathe. Can you imagine<br \/>\n having to say to yourself every few seconds, \u201cNow it’s time for<br \/>\n another breath\u201d? We are fortunate that our breathing is automatic.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Occasionally a gray whale is observed sleeping near shore, but<br \/>\n this is the exception rather than the rule.\n <\/p>\n<p>In this simulation we are not including the sleeping behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\n Some whales are faster swimmers than gray whales, others are<br \/>\n slower.
