We are pleased to pass along some good news from our colleagues at DFO Canada. L87 was seen with K Pod & L Pod off the west coast of Vancouver Island (Swiftsure Bank). Following the death of his mother, L32, in 2005, he has been documented traveling with K7, K11, J8, and J2. He has been associated with J Pod since 2010. Since the death of J2 in 2016, there has been much speculation about which matriarch he would connect to next. Stay tuned.
Here is a link to a video where Dr. Astrid van Ginneken CWR's Co-Principal Investigator tells his story. https://www.whaleresearch.com/post/2018/01/30/finding-acceptance
This photo of L87 and J8 was taken in 2013 by CWR's Dave Ellifrit.
