The whale known as ‘L94’ appears to be the mother of the new baby and staff at the centre say the calf looks very energetic.
Video was taken of the calf on Thursday by researchers from the NOAA research ship.
This is the third baby born to resident pods in recent months, but the population is only at 80, which is still dangerously low.
