Derek Sterling , Ocean Magic Naturalist has submitted photos to The Center for Whale Research and they have positively identified the new Jpod calf (J42 ) as a girl. Good work Derek.

Seen here is a small bit of the umbilical cord still attached. Also seen here is the activity of "baby pushing" which is meant to aid the calf in it's feeding and swimming needs. Truely a miracle of life and a gift to have witnessed, here to be shared with you!


Please read the article below for more information on this new addition to our magnificant Jpod! Sighted there is Pow's Anna Hall.
