    QUEBEC — The first of two pregnant walruses at Quebec's City's aquarium has given birth.
     
    The aquarium says it's the first time in Canada a captive walrus has delivered a live full-term baby.
     
    Twelve-year-old Arnaliaq gave birth naturally and without human interference Saturday morning.

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