been spotted hanging out on the floating docks. >> what happens is when you go up to them all they have to do is just dive off into the water, once these animals are in the water that is their natural habitat, right? once they are in the water humans are no match for them because they swim so fast and they dive, so that makes it a challenge. >> reporter: now jim oswald with the marine mammal center says they are going to be in a in a holding pattern. they don't want to chase them because that can make it worse so they will wait a couple of days until they are spotted again, hopefully they will be spotted on a beach and not the floating docks so it is easier to get to them. allie rasmus ktvu channel 2 news. >> that stranded whale is showing a small sign of improvement. we have been watching the female gray whale stranded in
