The Center for Whale Research has named the new baby girl J61. Tahlequah, the orca whale who carried her dead newborn 1,000 miles, recently gave birth to another calf.

The Center for Whale Research shared bittersweet news on New Year’s Eve: J pod has welcomed a new calf, J62, but also suffered the loss of a female calf, J61.

The Center for Whale Research noted this behavior was seen previously by J35 in 2018 when she carried the body of her previous calf that had died for more than two weeks — 17 days.
