  "She remained with it for several hours and possibly even days." Interesting article, but that comment veers into speculation. Speculation diminishes the value of a scientific article.

  Any parent here who has known this loss can relate. Didn’t think I’d see this on HN but yeah this is heartbreaking.

  Orcas have also been seen to carry their dead calf's around.
