J35 Tahlequah carries her dead daughter above the waves in the Puget Sound. This is the second calf she has lost. In 2018, she became famous from her "tour of grief" by carrying her calf's corpse for 17 days over 1000 miles.

The southern resident killer whales are starving because of humans depleting their food source. Read more about how to help these whales support their newborns and thrive in our waters.

J42, also known as Echo

Echo is Slick’s fourth child and youngest living offspring. Echo’s younger sister, Scarlet (J50), sadly failed to thrive from birth and was presumed dead in September 2018. Echo’s other two remaining siblings are named Mike (J26) and Alki (J36). The whale museum describes her as ‘spunky’!
