SAN JUAN ISLAND, Washington —
A newborn orca, possibly only hours old, was spotted off San Juan Island on Monday afternoon, the Center for Whale Research told the Kitsap Sun.
"It was breathing regularly and looked healthy," Whale Research representative Ken Balcomb said.
From the Sun:
The mom had been seen alone in the late morning and then again with the calf at about 2 p.m., so it was assumed to be just hours old. Later in the day, the mom and newborn calf had caught up with other members of J pod, Balcomb said, noting that he heard reports that members of the pod were jostling the baby, as they typically do with a newborn in the community.
