VANCOUVER - Researchers estimate a new calf in a pod of endangered southern resident killer whales off the West Coast was born sometime in the past few weeks based on its "lumpy" appearance.
The Washington-based Center for Whale Research says in a news release the calf is part of J-pod.
Three separate pods — K, J and L — make up the endangered southern resident population of just over 70 whales, which mostly travel off the coasts of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon.
The centre says J-pod, along with the calf, was seen off Landbank near the San Juan Islands.
It says the calf seems in good health although its sex is unknown.
The calf, J59, is the first baby born to the pod since September 2020.
