| Animal trainer, Amy Polykratis, keeps an eye on a female killer whale calf born Sunday afternoon, October 9, at SeaWorld San Antonio. The calf, which was rejected by its mother soon after birth, is now being hand-reared by SeaWorld animal care specialists and trainers. The as-yet-unnamed calf is 6 feet, 9 inches long and weighs 264 pounds. The calf's condition is considered guarded; the mother is in good condition and is eating well. This birth increases SeaWorld San Antonio's killer whale population to eight. |
