As the female orca known as Tahlequah once again carries the body of a dead calf through waters near Vancouver Island, for the second time in seven years, researcher Barbara J. King says there’s no mistaking the nature of the phenomenon.

On Thursday, the Washington-state-based Center for Whale Research said in a Facebook post that the mother, also known as J35, was seen pushing the remains of a calf on Jan. 10 between Vancouver Island and San Juan Island in Washington state. That was at least 10 days since the death of the calf, whose body Tahlequah was initially observed pushing on New Year’s Eve.

In 2018, Tahlequah captured worldwide attention when she carried the body of a calf for 17 days.

King said the way Tahlequah’s first “grief swim” was interpreted has now “been affirmed by everything we’ve come to know about animal emotions.”

When King took the stage in Vancouver for a Ted Talk about animal grief in 2019, she began with the story of Tahlequah.

“I do call her Tahlequah, and not by her alphanumeric,” said King, who is emerita professor of anthropology at Virginia’s William & Mary public university, and a research fellow at PAN Works, a centre for animal ethics. “I feel connected to her as another mammalian mother, and I felt great sorrow in hearing this news.”

But it’s not just orcas that grieve. King’s research cites grief and mourning among a range of animals, from baboons, to elephants, cats and ducks.

King said scientists are now embracing the idea that animals experience sorrow and loss, which wasn’t always the case.

She said that when she was getting her education, using such words to describe animals’ emotions wasn’t the norm.

“We had to say that animals spent time in proximity or they exhibited an unusual facial expression, and we avoided those emotion words,” King said.

But, she added, “the field has really changed.”

King said orcas are highly intelligent animals that form tight social bonds, aware of their surroundings and relationships, and Tahlequah’s behaviour indicates she is indeed mourning the death of her calf.

“I am as sure as I can be in a scientific framework that there’s an expression here of her sorrow,” King said.

“We know by now that animal joy, animal sorrow, animal fear, animal happiness, animal grief, the whole gamut exists. So these emotions don’t (just) belong to humans.”

King said it is important to limit “fanciful interpretations” of animal behaviours, but she said Tahlequah’s actions in recent weeks are clear.

Get ready for a special family-themed episode of JTBC’s “Knowing Bros” (“Ask Us Anything”)!
On January 18, the popular variety show aired a sneak peek of its upcoming Lunar New Year special, which will feature three celebrity family duos as guests. KISS OF LIFE’s Belle and STAYC’s Sieun will appear together with their respective fathers Shim Sin and Park Nam Jung, both of whom are legendary singers in Korea. Sisters BIBI and tripleS’s NaKyoung will also be guesting on the show together.
In the newly released preview, Sieun dances with Park Nam Jung to his iconic hit “Dreaming of You,” which is famous for its choreography. Meanwhile, Shim Sin sings KISS OF LIFE’s hit song “Sticky” together in a special duet with Belle.
After BIBI enviously says she wishes she were Park Nam Jung’s or Shim Sin’s daughter, she remarks that she and sister NaKyoung didn’t fight much while they were growing up. However, NaKyoung swiftly begs to differ, insisting they fought a lot. Later, the two siblings playfully sing Block B’s “Nillili Mambo” together.
The guests and “Knowing Bros” cast members then don hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) to play a guessing game together. When Sieun argues with her dad over a story about an amusement park trip, Lee Sang Min—who doesn’t have children of his own—woefully shares, “I want to argue with my daughter too.”
Finally, the preview ends with a brief glimpse of Sieun and Park Nam Jung performing “A Whole New World” from the “Aladdin” soundtrack together.
Check out the full preview below!
