The bereaved whale mother who made headlines when she heartbreakingly grieved her dead baby for more than two weeks has given birth to a new calf, scientists said.

The whale who made headlines for carrying her dead calf for 17 days in 2018 just had a new baby, according to researchers.

The killer whale who swam with her dead calf for 17 days in an apparent act of grieving recently gave birth to a new baby, according to Michael Weiss, research director of the Center for Whale Research.

A young female orca calf recently spotted by the CWR has now been confirmed to be the offspring of a whale who carried her dead calf for 17 days in 2018.
