Bermudiana’s mother is Cirrus

  Hi Kristina, thanks for the comment. I have that Cirrus gave birth to Luna in May 2007 and Caliban gave birth to Bermudiana in June 2007. That was confirmed by the AZA Studbook in addition to new releases at the time of their births. For example, Dolphin Quest reported the following – “Tatem was recently weaned from his mother because she gave birth to another calf, Bermudiana, in June 2007”
