The calf became stranded in the Zeballos lagoon after its mother got trapped on a sand bar in the lagoon’s shallow waters and died on March 23. The mother was pregnant at the time of her death. Officials have been monitoring the calf daily and working to formulate the best plan to relocate the animal and reunite it with its family pod.
Officials hope they can implement this plan within the next week. “It’s a huge effort and we have a long way to go,” Cottrell said. “We’re hoping for the best possible outcome.” The orca’s family pod was last spotted March 30. Bay Cetology, one of the organizations working to coordinate the rescue, told CNN the orca is “robust, showing no immediate signs of emaciation.” There have been attempts to feed the calf, but it’s unclear if it’s eaten anything, according to the organization.
