    QUEBEC — The first of two pregnant walruses at Quebec's City's aquarium has given birth.

    Twelve-year-old Arnaliaq gave birth naturally and without human interference Saturday morning.
     
    The sex of the baby is not yet known.

    The second pregnant female, Samka, is due at the beginning of June.
