Baby Narwhal Finds Foster Mother at New York Aquarium
Umiak the 200 pound narwhal at Coney Island has a new foster mother Ethel the Baluga whale. Officials expect Umiak to learn to eat fish by watching her and to gain exercise by following her movements. The narwhal, rare above the Arctic Circle, is captive and feeds six quarts of milk and chopped clams daily. Ethel, the 5 year old whale, will help guide the infant toward fish as Nixon Griffis notes. The mature narwhal's tusk can reach ten feet.
