Orca Killer Whale Sketch Notecards

 

Views:Product  Design

Orca Whale Friday Harbor WA Killer Whale Freedom Sketch notecards. The Southern Resident killer whale (SRKW) population contains three pods (or stable family-related groups)--J pod, K pod, and L pod--and is considered a stock under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Their range during the spring, summer, and fall includes the inland waterways of Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Southern Georgia Strait. Their occurrence in the coastal waters off Oregon, Washington, Vancouver Island, and more recently off the coast of central California in the south and off the Queen Charlotte Islands to the north has been documented. Little is known about the winter movements and range of the Southern Resident stock. Southern Residents have not been observed associating with other resident whales, and mitochondrial and nuclear genetic data suggest that Southern Residents rarely interbreed with other killer whale populations. Sketch by Sandy Buckley of San Juan Island- this is actually Opus (K16), a 22 year old female.
