CHICAGO -- A Pacific white-sided dolphin calf was born Monday at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.



Baby and mom are doing swimmingly.



The calf's gender is not yet known.



The birth is a rare addition -- only 16 Pacific white-sided dolphins are in North American facilities, which makes the birth even more special.



For now, mom and baby are getting some time away from the public to bond.
