At the beginning of November a new calf was spotted and confirmed in Jpod and has been designated as J43. J43 is the offspring of J14 a female born in 1974 and who has had four other calfs although the first one passed away in 1991. This is exciting news and brings the total of the Southern Resident Orcas to 88 and J43 is the fourth calf to be born this year.
