L pod

L pod is a subgroup of the Southern Resident killer whales, a community of orcas that live along the Pacific Northwest coast. This pod typically consists of around 20 to 30 individuals who share strong family bonds and travel together. They are known for their distinctive vocalizations and complex social structure. L pod primarily feeds on fish, especially salmon, and is part of a larger network of pods that contribute to the overall health and survival of the entire Southern Resident orca population. Their behavior and communication are key to understanding and protecting these marine mammals.
