The killer whale, known as Tahlequah, has been spotted carrying the body of her dead calf, echoing her display of grief from 2018.

An endangered whale was spotted off Washington carrying her calf’s deceased body over a week after the baby was first documented by researchers. The baby Southern Resident killer whale was confirmed dead Dec. 31, the Center for Whale Research said in a Facebook post.

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

Two newborn calves joined the Northwest's endangered orcas in December. By New Year’s Eve, one of them was dead and being carried around on its mother’s nose.

Tahlequah, the killer whale who carried her dead calf and swam with him for 17 days in 2018, has likely suffered another loss. Per The Seattle Times, researchers believe the mother orca's newborn calf, who the Center for Whale Research discovered the calf on Friday, Dec. 20, and given the alpha-numeric designation J61, has died.

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.

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.

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.

A mother killer whale who famously pushed the body of her dead newborn for 17 days in 2018 has lost another calf, and researchers say she is again carrying the body.
