as I do not have children BUT the challenges facing all of the whales are causing many to perish. Garbage in their ocean and toxic chemicals are weakening some so they are vulnerable to disease. Apparently she has been able to withstand all of these changes and thrive.

Here is a nice story for you because you must love whales.
- I live near a small bay off the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Years ago a distraught male orca swam into the bay and kept beaching himself. His mother had died and he was suffering severe grief. People were trying what they could to get him back into the water but he kept going back to the beach. A team from Canada arrived and set up a barge next to the beached whale. All night and into the next day they took care of him by pouring water over him and keeping wet blankets on him. Finally by the next afternoon they were able to get him off the beach into the water and he followed their boat out into the Strait.
