It's a Bouncing Baby Beluga Girl!

Aurora gave birth to her latest calf at 3:39 PM, on Sunday, June 7, 2009.

This newborn beluga is:
- about 1.3 metres long and weighs roughly 50 kg (at birth)
- slate grey -- it will gradually lighten as it matures
- wrinkled for the first few weeks
- adorable

Trained beluga observers are monitoring Aurora and the newborn calf around the clock to ensure that they have the best care possible.

Aurora is an experienced mom but the trainers and the veterinary staff will still be carefully watching for the first few milestones after a birth bonding and nursing.
