Many times, when the K13 family was seen with J or L pods, Deadhead and Ripple spent time with mothers and offspring. Springer’s release was deemed the ultimate success when she gave birth to Spirit in 2013, and Storm in 2017.
Mating takes place between individuals from different pods and it is thought that lengthy courtship occurs. We are opposed to the keeping of orca in captivity and work with like-minded organisations to raise awareness about the plight of orca in captivity. We already know some of the whales and dolphins that live here very well, and through them we have gained a better insight into the life and social behaviour of these animals. Listed as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act, there is urgent need for action to protect these majestic mammals from extinction. A law to protect the Orcas, which is supposed to regulate the catch quotas and contribute to the improvement of the situation, has not really mitigated the situation so far.HWDT have been tracking migratory minke whales and resident killer whales in the Hebrides since the Trust was first founded in 1994. Join today and be part of a community of people dedicated to safeguarding the future of the Hebridean marine environment. We work to expose and investigate inadequate captive facilities, leading to tighter regulations and improved animal welfare.

This tin is brimming with facts and figures about orcas in the wild as well as the extent of the work ORCA does.It is one of the best known northern resident pods because it normally spends a great deal of time in Johnstone strait during the summer and was one of the first groups of B. Suttles is often seen with Tsuchi (J-31) and her youngster, Tofino (J-56), possibly helping a mother with her baby.
