It's a Girl!

Qila gave birth to her first calf at 4:28 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008.

We hope you enjoy these photos, check back for updates!

If you have visited the Aquarium recently to see the new baby and have some photos, we'd love to see them! Add them to our Flickr Pool and/or tag

them "babybeluga2008".

Please remember that you must turn off your flash before photographing mom and calf in the underwater viewing area. Thank you!
