Orca mother keeps her dead calf afloat in extraordinary display of grief

Image
Her calf is dead but an orca mother has been spotted in a heartbreaking exhibition of maternal care - or grief - gently trying to keep her offspring afloat. As the carcase sinks in the water she has been gently using her forehead to prop it out of the water and nudge it onwards in choppy seas for the past two days, according to researchers who say the population of whales along the British Columbia coastline is struggling to reproduce. Ken Balcomb of the Centre for Whale Research, said food shortages - including the endangered Chinook salmon - meant females were unable to deliver healthy offspring. The calf only survived for about 45 minutes and was the first born to the pod off the West Coast in the past three years, he told ABC News.   “They should be having nine babies a year -- anywhere from six to nine babies a year,” he said. Grieving mothers can keep their dead calf afloat for up to a week Credit: David Ellifrit/Centre for Whale Research via AP Howev...
