New calf L 117
This calf was first seen December 6th, traveling with three adult females: 49 year old Tanya (L-5), 33 year old Ino (L-54), and 17 year old Ballena ( L-90), and it is uncertain at this point which one is the calf’s mother since all the members of the whale’s family help out with the calves.
The older animals have a vital role in assuring the viability of the population – whether the oldest female actually gave birth to the calf or not, her participation in the rearing of the calf will help increase the odds that the baby will survive.
