Science: PUDGY & HER CALF

Peggy (dining at right) is the first porpoise to be born alive in captivity. Her 350-lb. mother, Pudgy, gave birth last week in a tank at the Marineland, Fla. Marine Studios. In less than half a minute Pudgy had pushed her calf, an air-breathing mammal, up to the surface to draw her first breath. In an hour and a half Peggy, with all a mammal’s proper instincts, was having her first meal.
