“Every female is a future matriarch, a mother of potentially five, six or seven babies over their lifetime,” said Kelley Balcomb-Bartok of the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbour, Washington, which tracks the endangered resident orcas. “Males are, of course, welcome and valued, too, but every girl born is precious to [the southern residents’] existence. Even after their reproductive days are over, they play major roles.” On Sunday on the eve of International Women’s Day researchers confirmed that J58, born last September, was indeed a female, to the delight of the whale-watching community. Photographer Jeanne Hyde had captured the baby whale on the west side of San Juan Island on Saturday playing with her mother, J58, as she was rolling and showing her underside.
