The killer whale finally gave up the corpse after 17 days floating in the ocean

Tahlequah - the world famous killer whale mother for the past half month has finally overcome her pain.

Surely many still remember the story of Tahlequah - the killer whale has touched the whole world to keep her baby from leaving, even though the pitiful juvenile died immediately after being born.

Killer whales hugged their bodies around the ocean for more than half a month, and science was extremely worried
The pain is so great, the mother is not ready for that. He hugged his son for more than half a month, moving more than 1,600 kilometers. Even science has considered forcing her to separate her mother, because embracing her body can prevent her from earning enough food to supplement her nutrition after giving birth.

Tahlequah killer whale has actually left his child.

But luckily they didn't have to do this. The pain is still there, but the mother has already overcome it. According to a record from the University of British Columbia, on Saturday, August 11 - after 17 days of reaching out to their children, Tahlequah first swim without his children. She flocked to a herd of salmon in British Columbia.

The reason now is that new experts speak up because they want to know for sure that Tahlequa has really given up. And luckily that was true.

Tahlequah is pushing the fry of the baby fish on the sea surface to help him breathe the air (whale breathing in the lungs).

"Tahlequah's mourning trip has ended" - an expert from the Whale Research Center in the Pacific Northwest.

"There have been reports that the J35 (Tahlequah's scientific nickname) no longer carries the corpse from August 11 in Georgia Strait waters near Vancouver, and now we can confirm that she has since Quit it. "

Sadly, the experts were unable to recover the body, in order to understand the cause of death and prevent similar cases in the future. According to the report, the body has sunk to the bottom of the Salish sea, and the recovery is quite low.

In fact, the killer whale will be with your baby after birth, preventing it from sinking too long to fully breathe. However, in the case of Tahlequah, science confirmed that the mother whale knew her child died, but it simply did not give up. Day after day, it constantly pushed the body to the surface of the sea, as if the baby could return.

The killer whale after birth will stay with your child, preventing it from sinking for too long to fully breathe.

"A common dolphin or whale will suffer a lot. It has to dive, bring your child to the sea before it sinks, breathe and then submerge it again" - Deborah Giles from Washington University shared .

"But this mother, she knows, but she simply doesn't want to give up. She hasn't been ready yet."

At the present time, the mother whale is still in good health, the skull is not deformed and the body has no signs of weakness due to lack of food. Although not a beautiful ending, but in this case is still the best for both.

The touching story of Tahlequah is actually a wake-up call for mankind. The sad fact is that within the last two decades, 75% of the whales have been born. Even the survival rate of young children in recent years is . 0%. All died shortly after birth.

75% of whales are born that do not survive.

The cause of this catastrophe is that people are too hands-on when catching salmon - one of the important food sources of killer whales. In addition, boats also constantly appear in whale hunting areas, polluting water sources.

Obviously, in order to have no more painful cases with Tahlequah, people need a more specific plan to solve this problem. It is possible that the ban, which may be limited, is unclear what will work, but let the science answer it.
