Newborn Killer Whale Brings Hope for Endangered Pod
A pod of endangered killer whales that swims off the coast of Washington state welcomed its first newborn in more than two years.
On Dec. 30, Ken Balcomb, a scientist at the Center for Whale Research, noticed the newborn orca while monitoring a pod, dubbed J-pod, which hangs around Puget Sound, a large Pacific Ocean inlet. The baby killer whale is likely about seven or eight days old now.
