Recent Killer Whale Birth Boosts Salish Sea Pod's Population

(picture is not of the new baby, but of a new addition in 2007)

A newborn killer whale calf has been reported in J Pod, one of the three pods that frequent the Salish Sea, which includes Puget Sound.

The new baby has been given the designation J-46, the next available number in sequence, said Susan Berta of Orca Network. The calf has been seen with J-28, a 16-year-old orca named Polaris who is presumed to be the mom.

J Pod has been out of the area for days but appeared off San Juan Island yesterday afternoon, Berta said. The pod headed south but made a turn somewhere. At dusk, J and K pods were sighted in Canadian waters near Victoria.

This birth brings the population of J Pod to 27 and the total for all three pods to 87.
