Nurse

Before she was named, this whale was often seen in close quarters with injured whales.  How much more appropriate would a name be than Nurse?

 

Nurse's History

Mother:               Unknown First Sighting:   1979
Year Of Birth:   Unknown Last Seen:           1993

Nurse's Family Tree

Calves Year of Birth Grandcalves
Tanith 1980 Glider (1988) Tanith
Arbor 1983 Unnamed (1995) Tanith
Apostrophe 1985 Aztec (1998) Tanith
Stylus 1989 Liberty (1991) Apostrophe
Not Named 1991  
Verticle 1993  

Although Nurse has not been sighted since 1993, I keep looking for this caring and gentle whale.  I hope to see her again with a calf like Stylus, born in 1989.

How can I see more of Nurse?
