Orca mother Tahlequah mourns anew with the loss of her calf J61, echoing past grief

Credited from: CNN

  • Tahlequah, an orca known as J35, gained global attention in 2018 after carrying her dead calf for 17 days and over 1,000 miles.
  • The orca's latest calf, J61, was confirmed dead shortly after its sighting on December 20, raising concerns about Tahlequah's grief.
  • Research indicates that this act of mourning may cause physical and emotional stress for the mother orca and is critical for the Southern Resident population.
  • Current challenges for the population include pollutants, noise, and lack of food, leading to a struggling birth rate.
  • The loss of the female calf J61 has implications for the species’ future reproductive potential, as their population is already critically endangered.
