Help a Horse
New England Equine Rescue - North (NEER) needs extra support, and hopefully some of our readers can lend a hoof.

Tahlequah was going through what researchers have deemed a grieving process that is not uncommon among orcas who are known for their strong family bond. Now we have wonderful news to share. Tahlequah is a mamma again! She gave birth to a new calf in early September…a boy! According to a press release from the Whale Research Center, "She was still capable of producing a live calf after an approximate eighteen-month gestation! Hooray!
