Humpback Whale
These animals must be a pretty wonderful moms, because this orphaned baby calf in Sydney is so desperate to find its parent that it recently latched onto a yacht and tried to suckle from the boat. It isn’t eating and swims close to the yacht. Unfortunately, the latest update is that the baby whale, who was supposed to be killed soon to end its suffering since it’s not breathing correctly and is having problems with its flippers, is now missing.
