NEW BABY IN K POD!
Welcome back K's & L's! a few days of a Superpod has been a delight. When all three families get together after a long winter & Spring to engage in mating and socializing activities. All of the animals that we have been seeing look 'plump'...well fed and in good spirits.
There is anew baby/calf in K pod. It appears K-14 'Lea' is the new mom. for more information and photos please click here to see photos of the new baby...
I hope all goes well with the little one, the first year will be a tough time for it. There is statistically a 50% mortality rate with newborn Orca because of pollution in our environment. Toxins are stored in their fat cells & when the new mom lactates and feeds her newborn orca, the baby is being fed toxic milk.
With our fingers crossed, and our thoughts, hopes, & prayers with Lea's newborn, hopefully all goes well.
