It’s very tentative good news, but good news nonetheless:
Between September 2020 and now (October 2021) the Southern Resident Killer Whales have had three births and three more pregnancies were recently confirmed.
These orcas are known to have a high miscarriage and infant mortality rate. For a population of just over 70 whales, every one matters. In September, Washington DFW declared the three pregnant J-pod females and a 2-year old in poor condition as “vulnerable,” requiring whale-watching boats to remain at least half a mile from these individuals instead the usual distances outlined at bewhalewise.org
Good luck babies!
