</header>https://www.whalefacts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/DO-WHALES-LIVE-IN-THE-GOLF-OF-MEXICO-scaled-e1625694855232.jpg
Yes, whales (http://www.whalefacts.org/) can be found traveling throughout the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
In fact, there are over 25 different species of whale and dolphin (http://www.whalefacts.org/dolphin-facts/) that can be found swimming, living, and traveling through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
The warm weather, connecting rivers and waterways, and abundant food supply makes the Gulf of Mexico an ideal place for whales and other marine mammals to travel through, whether for breeding purposes or to reach another destination.
Some of the most popular whale species known to inhibit the Gulf of Mexico include the blue whale, fin whale, humpback whale, minke whale, northern right whale, sei whale, and the sperm whale.
However, many other lesser-known whales also inhabit these waters, such as Blainville’s beaked whale, Bryde’s whale, the dwarf sperm whale, and Gervais’ beaked whale, and Sowerby’s beaked whale, among other species.

Yes, whales (http://www.whalefacts.org/) can be found traveling throughout the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
In fact, there are over 25 different species of whale and dolphin (http://www.whalefacts.org/dolphin-facts/) that can be found swimming, living, and traveling through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
The warm weather, connecting rivers and waterways, and abundant food supply makes the Gulf of Mexico an ideal place for whales and other marine mammals to travel through, whether for breeding purposes or to reach another destination.
Some of the most popular whale species known to inhibit the Gulf of Mexico include the blue whale, fin whale, humpback whale, minke whale, northern right whale, sei whale, and the sperm whale.
However, many other lesser-known whales also inhabit these waters, such as Blainville’s beaked whale, Bryde’s whale, the dwarf sperm whale, and Gervais’ beaked whale, and Sowerby’s beaked whale, among other species.
