NEAQ Researcher Observes Right Whale Birth

The Aquarium is all abuzz about right whale researcher Monica Zani's published paper documenting the first-ever observed right whale birth.

The full account with bloody birth pictures are here.
hi res versions of the pics are here.

But here's the money shot. Look at that cute little curled up fluke!

Awwwww!

Oh, and in case you're too lazy to click on this link, it's a boy named Resolution.
This all happened in 2005 (publishing takes a while, ok?)
And since then the mother has had another calf.

Plus there's a great blog archive of right whale tracking missions here.
