Mere minutes after birth, a two-headed plesiosaur calf passes away. The mother stays with it, drifting alongside the dead calf and away from her pod without eating. Occasionally she dives to retrieve the body when it sinks, before eventually leaving it behind and rejoining her pod.
Inspired by the story of Tahlequah the orca, who in 2018 remained with her dead newborn for 17 days.
