In the early morning
hours of December 23, 2004, Kekaimalu -- the only
known living hybrid of a false killer whale and
Atlantic bottlenose dolphin,
or "wholphin" -- gave birth to a female calf. All nursing takes place
underwater, and, typically,
nursing will continue until the calf is 18-24 months old. She is a very
robust calf for her age,
and her size is more comparable to the size of a 1-year-old bottlenose
dolphin
. Typically, nursing will continue for about 3-9 months
before the calf will begin sampling some
of her mother's food, and at
1-2 years of age, the calf will be completely weaned from its mother
