Congratulations to the mother, 20-year-old Whisper!
The adorable calf was born May 17th, weighing 174 pounds and measured out to be 5 feet and 4 inches long!
After a long labor, both mother and baby are resting and bonding. The Georgia Aquarium, in Atlanta, is said to be keeping a close watch on the lovely pair.
Unfortunately, the aquarium still remains closed due tot he virus but we're very excited for them and already in love with their newest addition to their beluga family!
The Italian yarn artist, Lindadi of Le Creazioni Di Lindadi, is known for her beautiful detailed crocheted art.
Recently, she has created an incredibly detailed aquarium featuring underwater creatures all made out of crocheted yarn, including various fish, a pink jellyfish, a blue octopus, orange coral, a tiny green turtle, several pale seahorses, two pink crabs, and green seagrass.

Yes, you've heard that right. Facetime with eels.
Tokyo's Sumida aquarium put out the call to action earlier this week due to the lack of visitors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and naturally, it went viral.
The spotted garden eels have been burrowing in sand and are "beginning to forget about" humans, which is worrying their keepers.
In order to keep their fishy friends socially engaged, the Tokyo aquarium is organizing a "Face Show Festival." During the festival, which will run from Sunday to Tuesday, it will install five tablets near the tank, hoping members of the public will call...
We've seen a variety of species go on a private tour of aquariums and the moment has finally arrived. A moment we've all been waiting for -- kittens!
Atlantic Humane Society, who brought their pups to the same aquarium a few weeks ago, decided it was only fair that their kittens got the same experience!
So while Georgia Aquarium has been closed to the public, these furry felines got the private tour of a lifetime!
And their reactions? As adorable as could be. Watch the kittens get up close and personal with all the sea life at the Georgia Aquarium.
Currently, these kittens are not available for adoption, but you can see all of the animals up for adoption at the Atlanta Humane Society during this time at Atlanta Humane Society.

The staff are currently letting the penguins roam the empty aquarium and documenting their adventures!
And on March 31st, Wellington the Penguin meet beluga whales -- for the very first time! And the belugas are northern hemisphere animals, so they likely have never seen a penguin either!
Which explains the second belugas curiosity as it presses its head against the glass for a better look!
If you ever wondered what happens to all those animals in zoos and aquariums around the world which are now closing its gates to visitors... well, many of them are having the best time of their lives as the local staff is providing them with the opportunities to go on cool adventures.
We have already told you about the adorable penguins from the Shedd aquarium and now it's time for Birri, the lovely sea lion, who is also called the handsome boy by the employees at the Sea World in Australia.
The staff took Birri to meet his friends - the tropical fish, rays as well as other bottom-dwellers and documented it all in a video that quickly went viral.
We are so excited to see more of Birri's adventures.
The Shedd Aquarium in Chicago has been locked down like many other places in the US amid the COVID-19 outbreak. But the managers of the place just provided us with the much needed bright spot we all need these days - the cutest videos of their penguins roaming around the entire aquarium and meeting their animal roommates. And that's what we call a great opportunity for a penguin party!
The aquarium tweeted that without guests in the building, their animal caretakers are planning even more creative activities for the penguins and other animals. So stay tuned!
People are prepared to spend thousands of pounds on hobbies and weird and wonderful rare things that nobody else has, so it shouldn't be surprising to hear that someone has actually paid $400,000 for A FISH! Whilst this might seem like an obscene amount of money for everyday people to spend on their hobby, the aquarium industry can become a really expensive pursuit for certain individuals that want to own rare and beautifully colorful species.
Let's take a look at six of the most expensive aquarium fish, ranked from lowest (even those are still expensive!) to highest.
Aquariums in South Korea, Hungary, the US and beyond received a very special visitor this holiday season.
Many studies have shown that watching fish going about their daily business can reduce your stress levels, lower your blood pressure and make you feel more relaxed. Aquarium can also be a beautiful addition to your home as you can see at the following unusual designs. Via: Architect And Design
