His name is Moby and for now this rehabilitation 1 tank in Galveston is the stranded 2 infant whale's only home and care-givers like Heidi Watts 3 are his only family.


Because he is so tiny and hasn't learned any survival skills for the wild, he unfortunately would not be released of all. Er, but we will definitely try to find a good home for him if he gets healthy.


The 50-pound weeks' old dwarf 4 sperm 5 whale and its ailing 6 mother were found on Jamaica Beach as tropical storm Erin lashed 7 Galveston Island. Members of the Texas Marine 8 Mammal Stranding 9 Network worked quickly to try and save the pair.


Both the mother and calves 10 were swimming together within the first 24 hours, however, the mother's condition was obviously declining.Er, so unfortunately, she passed away.


Watts says there are no wounds or outward clues to indicate why the mother died. Whale strandings are considered rare on the Texas Gulf 11 Coast, especially in mother-calf 12 strandings. Rescuers are now putting their attention toward Moby. The 3.5-foot infant whale is being fed through a tube pushed into his mouth.


The formula is extremely expensive. It's about 400 dollars a day to keep this baby whale fed. So we are just asking for help and donations to, to be able to continue supporting this calf.


Moby will remain in the rehabilitation tank at a National Oceanic and Atmospheric 13 Administration Facility. It's hoped he will one day be adopted by a zoo or aquarium 14. But for now, rescuers are taking it one day at a time, focusing first on trying to get the infant whale healthy.


It's, it's gonna be hard not to get too attached.
