Eschrichtiidae or the gray whales is a family of baleen whale (Parvorder Mysticeti) with a single extant species, the gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus), as well as three described fossil genera: Archaeschrichtius and Eschrichtioides from the Miocene and Pliocene of Italy respectively,[1] and Gricetoides from the Pliocene of North Carolina.[2] More recent phylogenetic studies have found this family to be invalid, with its members nesting inside the Balaenopteridae.[3][4] The names of the extant genus and the family honours Danish zoologist Daniel Eschricht.[5]
