A mother's loss is never easy, even for an animal. The world has been watching as a grieving orca mother has been carrying her dead calf for 17 days straight. Tahlequah gave birth to a calf, within a few hours, that calf died. Tahlequah couldn't let her baby go, she carried the calf preventing her from sinking and had been nudging it close to the surface. The pod with Tahlequah has been nothing but supportive as they've helped the grieving mother carry her baby, taking turns so each could hunt for food. But as of today, Tahlequah and her pod have been seen without the calf. This story is nothing but heartbreaking and you can't help but cry for Tahlequah.
