While whales are known to grieve the loss of their loved ones, the recent story of an orca mom clinging to her dead calf for over two weeks demonstrates unprecedented evidence of the strength of the species’ familial bonds. The heart-wrenching saga began on July 24, 2018, after a female calf born to J35, aka Tahlequah — a member of the endangered Southern Residents Killer Whales (SRKW) pod — died 30 minutes after birth. Instead of letting the carcass sink into the ocean, the grieving mother began carrying the lifeless body by balancing it on her forehead or nudging it along the water surface with her nose.

bookstory146년 이상That's so sad!! 😥 A lot of people think that animals don't have any feelings, but that is NOT TRUE 😡! Animals have the same feelings as us. This is awful that Tahlequah (the whale mom) had to go through the loss of her calf.
