We have some incredibly exciting news to share! J Pod has a new calf! Designated J63, we observed this little one traveling with J40. This will be her first known calf! While we have no immediate health concerns at the moment, we’ll continue to update when we can.

If you haven’t already seen the news, a brand new calf was spotted in J Pod!

The calf was photographed by Brittany Philbin from a Washington State Ferry and was seen traveling in the echelon position of J35 Tahlequah.
