Tahlequah the killer whale made headlines and broke hearts after she was spotted carrying the body of her dead calf for 17 days. This month, sightings of the orca show she has recently given birth again .

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.

An orca who made headlines in 2018 after she carried her dead calf on her head for more than two weeks and a distance of 1,000 miles has given birth again, according to the Center for Whale Research.

The killer whale that carried her dead calf on her head for more than two weeks for 1,000 miles in 2018 has a new baby, according to the Center for Whale Research.

A team of researchers observe the new calf and confirm it is female, but they are concerned about its health after it was seen "not looking lively".

The whale, known to the world as Tahlequah, gave birth to her second calf since 2018, when she carried her dead newborn for more than two weeks.

An orca, who carried her dead calf for 17 days and swam over 1600 kmof ocean in 2018, has given birth to a new baby, according to the Center for Whale Research.

She is the mother orca who captured the world’s attention by carrying her dead calf for 17 days and 1,000 miles. But now, there’s a new baby by her side — a symbol of hope in this, our own season of renewal.

Six years ago, Tahlequah swam with her dead calf for 17 days, preventing its body from sinking, in an apparent act of grieving. The mother whale’s first known baby since that incident came two years later in 2020.
