Zookeepers surprised to find Gracie the harbor seal was pregnant have now welcomed the first seal pup to be born at the ABQ BioPark.

After the keepers noticed Gracie was gaining weight, an ultrasound revealed why.  Gracie, 8, apparently had managed to mate with Oakley, 21, without anyone noticing.

The result was a 20-pound pup born April 13 and currently enjoying the quiet of the birthing pool.  That's where they will stay until the pup is able to eat solid food and move to the public pool.

Don’t forget to file your taxes by Monday, April 18th

Before you rush to file your taxes today, remember that you actually have three more days to get your forms turned in to the tax man.

Instead of being due on April 15, which is typically the filing deadline, your taxes are due Mon., April 18 this year.

The three bonus days come thanks to Emancipation Day, a little-known Washington, D.C., holiday that celebrates the freeing of slaves in the district.

Emancipation Day falls on Sat., April 16, but it is observed in D.C. on Fri., April 15. That prompted the IRS to extend the tax filing deadline to April 18 this year. Under the tax code, filing deadlines can't fall on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays.

Tax Day extended to April 18 - Apr. 15, 2011
