IT'S A GIRL... AND A BOY! Spirit and Maya Are New Mothers  Congratulations to first-time dolphin moms Spirit and Maya! On April 14, Spirit gave birth to a female calf, and Maya followed soon after, with an April 27 delivery of a male calf! Both calves are doing well, and are together with their mothers, bonding as a family. Spirit and Maya are also half-sisters, and were born at the Aquarium a month apart 10 years ago!
