New "Baby Shamu" at SeaWorld
The calf doesn't have a name yet (heck, they still don't know its sex!) but what we do know is that the new addition to SeaWorld's family is a cute and cuddly 350 pounds.
The baby was born to Taima, whose name comes from the Icelandic word for "crash of thunder." Seems she was born during a thunderstorm back in 1989.
More details:
In other SeaWorld news, the new Shamu show, Believe, won a Thea Award for outstanding achievement in a live atttraction. The award is presented by a trade association representing the theme park industry.

More details:
The birth brings the Orlando pod to nine whales, ranging from the 350-pound baby to a 12,000-pound male.
The calf is the 15th killer whale born at SeaWorld Orlando and the 23rd born and successfully raised throughout all three SeaWorld parks.
