Southern Resident orca profiles 73 l 124 Whistle

Whistle was first seen in January of 2019 and was suspected to be a few weeks old by Center for Whale Research head biologist, Ken Balcomb. Whistle is the first calf to survive past birth in over three years in the Southern Resident Killer Whale population. Whistle’s mother is Matia (L-77) and he has a firecracker for a sister in Joy (L-119). Whistle also has an aunt named Calypso (L-94) and an uncle named Mega (L-41). Whistle was born into a large family as he also has two cousins named Cousteau (L-113) and Windsong (L-121). Whistle is lucky to have two more whales to watch over him as their family travels closely with Ocean Sun (L-25) and Mystery (L-85).
