L-119 Joy, Female (2012) Joy is a member of a matriline in L-pod who is known to separate from the rest of L-pod for extended periods of time. Joy’s mother is Matia (L-77) and she has a new brother is namedWhistle (L-124).
THE HIDDEN ORCA BEHAVIOURS YOU’LL ONLY SEE IN THE WILD Everyone loves the classic behaviours too, the breach is one of the most powerful acts of wildness you’ll ever see. People love the spy hops and tail flaps, too. People love the action. For the new observer, seeing that action is what they’ve come to expect, but for yourself, it’s almost the hidden behaviours that strike more of achord.
VICTORIA WHALE WATCHING REPORT: THE SOUTHERN RESIDENT After taking many photos and monitoring their behaviour, we determined that they were actually K Pod Southern Resident Killer Whales. This ecotype eats salmon, which they find using echolocation. K Pod is the smallest of the three (J, K, L) Southern Resident Killer Whale pods. There are currently 17 individuals in K Pod out of only 71 remaining WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRANSIENT AND RESIDENT What is more obvious is the tendency for Transient orcas to have a sharply pointed tip to their dorsal fin whereas Residents have a more rounded tip to theirs. All killer whales have what is called a saddle patch on their back, which is a greyish-white area just behind and extending below their dorsal fin. RUFFLES: THE ICONIC ORCA IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Ruffles (Born ~1950, Died 2011) Even though he is now deceased, Ruffles remains one of the most recognizable killer whales in the Pacific Northwest. Known for his 6-foot tall, ruffled-edge dorsal fin, he was the patriarch of J Pod, one of the three pods that make up the endangered southern resident killer whale community. 4 DANGEROUS REMINDERS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORCAS 3. Killer Whales vs Tiger Shark. I’ll admit, this one is difficult to watch. Like the videos you’ve seen of seals being tossed into the air or the rabbit running away from the wolf, the fact that these images simply portray the realities of the animal kingdom and the food chain doesn’t make it any easier to watch helpless critters staringdown certain death.
