Almost two years ago, the world grieved for an orca who carried her dead calf for 17 days. Now, she's pregnant again.

The southern residents have since had two more calves — both of which are still alive. But Tahlequah's new pregnancy carries special meaning for a region that grieved the death of her calf with her — during those 17 days two years ago.about her dead newborn, a nearby resident recounted watching Tahlequah with other mourning orcas.

Especially as the new pregnancies move forward, Boaters should respect the whales’ space and give them the quiet they need, said Fearnbach and John Durban, senior scientist of Southall Environmental Associates. Whales use sound to hunt, and boat disturbance and underwater vessel noise is one of the three main threats to their survival, in addition to lack of adequate, available salmon and pollution.

Orca who carried her dead calf for 1,000 miles is pregnantWhen Tahlequah carried her dead calf for 1,000 miles over 17 days nearly two years ago, it raised worldwide concern. Only idiots don’t know how smart and emotional animals and fish are. People treat them like rocks, the way women, Black people and Chinese Americans were treated here. I am so disgusted with much of humanity these days. Why are people so evil and stupid and selfish?! good for her? Congratulations! This one will live.
