A newborn Chincoteague foal is getting a second chance at life after being rescued from the wild with a rare birth defect.

The foal was missing a hoof on its hind leg. It was not an injury, but a congenital deformity. While such cases often lead to euthanasia, rescuers believed the filly might adapt well to a prosthetic.

The foal was transported off the island in air-conditioned comfort. She even got some snuggles and an afternoon nap with one of the volunteers.

The foal was later introduced to a Chincoteague pony mare, Neveah, who had recently lost her foal and was yearning for a new baby. With medical support, the mare began producing milk again and accepted the orphaned filly as her own.

The two are now inseparable.

2 More North Atlantic Right Whales Off Virginia!

During our U.S. Navy-funded aerial and vessel surveys on 27 January 2025 we were alerted by Danielle at NAVFAC Atlantic that there were recent RW calls on the acoustic monitoring buoy 23 miles east of Virginia Beach so we headed that direction and found right whales identified as #3903 and #4980 (a.k.a. 'Coral') - both females of reproductive age. Whales were very slowly traveling NNW towards the shipping lanes so we deployed a CATS suction-cup tag on Coral. The two whales became more social with each other and unfortunately 3903 knocked off Coral's tag 40 minutes later leaving us with a fantastic, albeit very limited, dataset.

The importance of understanding right whale movements and behaviors in the Western Mid-Atlantic is underscored in this photo with a container ship traveling nearby in the background. Ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear are the primary causes of death for right whales.

Research is led by HDR Inc., funded by United States Fleet Forces Command, and managed by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic under the U.S. Navy’s Marine Species Monitoring program. All scientific activities are conducted under NMFS scientific research permit #28184.
