What We Love: J Pod!

J Pod welcomed a new calf earlier this year

J Pod killer whales have been spending time in the Salish Sea for the last little while. They were swimming through Dodd’s Narrows in early April. And many Canadians caught them on video.

We can’t tell from the video, but the J Pod might have a baby with them. But if they stick around long enough, we might find out!
