“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.
