The newborn is anything but small, weighing 174 pounds.
While the aquarium is currently closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Georgia Aquarium team is monitoring Whisper and her calf 24/7.
The mama and her baby are getting some much-needed rest after a long labor, according to the aquarium.
