An endangered Pacific Northwest orca that carried her dead calf for over two weeks in 2018 is doing so once again following the death of her new calf.

The orca who captured global attention in 2018 by carrying her deceased calf for 17 days has faced another heartbreaking loss.

A grieving orca mother who made headlines more than six years ago for carrying her dead newborn calf for 17 days after its death is sadly repeating history after the death of her newest calf in recent days.

The killer whale that carried her dead calf on her head for more than two weeks for 1,000 miles in 2018 has a new baby, according to the Center for Whale Research.

An orca who made headlines in 2018 after she carried her dead calf on her head for more than two weeks and a distance of 1,000 miles has given birth again, according to the Center for Whale Research.

The research center confirmed J35 has been seen carrying the body of J61 with her. The CWR noted this behavior was seen previously by J35 in 2018 when she carried the body of her previous calf that had died for more than two weeks — 17 days.

The whale, known to the world as Tahlequah, gave birth to her second calf since 2018, when she carried her dead newborn for more than two weeks.

Tahlequah is once again carrying a dead calf, researchers said, as she did in 2018 in a 17-day, 1,000-mile tour that shocked the region and world.
