During our 2019 field season we noted that Canopener appeared to be pregnant. She was large and robust, and her stomach was noticeably distended. Members of her social group constantly swarmed and rubbed against her in a tactile and affectionate manner as they traveled. We do not know if the pronounced display of demonstrative behavior towards Canopener was associated with her pregnancy, but it was fascinating to witness.

In 2021, we observed Canopener swimming in tandem with a yearling calf by her side. Given the estimated age of the calf and their close proximity, we surmise that this is her offspring. The sighting was brief and we await confirmation of the parentage of the calf upon further investigation.
