J pod

J pod is one of several family groups within the southern resident killer whale population found in the Pacific Northwest. These whales are part of a close-knit social structure, with J pod consisting of related females, their offspring, and occasionally other relatives. They are known for their complex vocalizations and strong social bonds. J pod primarily feeds on salmon, especially chinook salmon, and their health and survival are indicators of the ocean's ecosystem health. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their habitat and food sources to ensure their long-term stability.
