Mom And Baby Whale Number 5 Doing Well Off B.C. Coast As Population Rebounding

The Canadian Press, 08 Sep, 2015 12:11 PM
    SOOKE, B.C. — Scientists say a fifth baby has joined an endangered population of killer whales off British Columbia's coast.
     
    The newest calf in the L pod was spotted frolicking with its mother yesterday near Sooke.
     
    The Washington state-based Center for Whale Research says the baby dubbed L122 is the newest member of the pod since last December.
     
    It says the calf was photographed from a research vessel and measured using a drone that was already doing work on southern resident killer whales.
     
    That population is made up of three pods — J, K and L.
     
    The center's senior scientist Ken Balcomb says only 35 of the 122 southern resident whales born in the area in the last 40 years are still alive.
