J-Pod's 13 week old J59 Swims Upside Down, Lunges & Smacks Her Little Fluke - SRKWs 5-28-22

13 week old J59 practicing her moves. It is with much happiness that the orca community welcomes this little girl. Endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales suffer high pregnancy losses due to food shortages (salmon) and toxicants in their environment. The toxins are stored in their fat and when they go hungry these toxic fat stores are released to the babies they are carrying. Filmed from shore at 11:10 on 5-28-22

It was hard to watch J50 decline. I felt so helpless. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
