J2, known as Granny, breaching in Rosario Strait. She is the matriarch of our resident Jpod and is estimated to have been born in 1911, making her one of the oldest known killer whales in British Columbia. Our early boat was first on scene and was treated to 25 killer whales travelling south in the early morning before other boats arrived. Four generations of killer whales were present, as the 1 month old baby, J42, was also swimming among the family of whales.photo by skipper Mark Malleson (killerwhalephotography.com)
