“Semu was indeed a little bit more coordinated today, and low like skittish, keeping it well with mum”

 

Normally, caves can only dive a meter or so in their first week of life, but Semu is diving deeper and for longer than any other calves  the researchers have seen before. It's a good sign. It's Semu doing so well, Puck's finally able to start fishing again. She heads for a bait ball. Mothers lose a lot of weight in the first week of their calves' life. While Puck's nursing, she needs to increase her food intake by 50%. Later that afternoon, something very unexpected happens as visitors from across the bay start arriving. Mothers and calves from at least 3 different families are gathering to meet Semu.
