"Look at the list of Salt's calves above. What can that tell you about
humpback whale reproduction? What might have been some of the concerns of
the scientists studying Salt?"
Salt with her calves:
Crystal (1980)
Halos (1983)
Thalassa (1985)
Brine (1987)
Bittern (1989)
Salsa (1991)
new calf (1998)

I think that in looking at her calves and the years that there is only about a
2yr.-3yr.
between having another calf, so when she had Salsa in 1991, they thought they
would
see her with a new calf in either 1993 or 1994, when they didn't they most
likely got
worried that something was wrong with her, that she may have a problem with
either
getting pregnant or having alive baby, but now since they saw her with her new
baby
they know everything is going to be o.k.
