Endangered Species Facts

Tahlequah is a wild orca off Seattle. In 2018, her newborn calf died. She refused to let the body sink. She carried it on her head for 17 days and nearly 1,000 miles. Scientists called it a Tour of Grief. Seven years later, she lost another calf. She carried that one for at least 11 days too. She loved deeply enough to grieve like this twice.
