Amy Warren, an assistant researcher at the New England Aquarium’s Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life, said she’s crossing her fingers for more births, but that the count at this stage is pretty much on par with previous seasons. “It’s been hard to judge because the trends have shifted a little bit earlier some years, a little bit later some years,” Warren said. “Last year at this time, I believe we had 10 calves. So we’re really not far off from that.” Photos, more, >>click to read<< 09:29
