A pod of endangered orcas, native to the Pacific Northwest waters, has been seen floating the body of a dead calf that died over a week ago. J35, a 20-year-old whale, gave birth to the first baby orca in three years, but the calf died shortly after. It kept sinking, and the mother would raise it to the surface,” said Ken Balcomb, a senior scientist with the Center for Whale Research on San Juan Island, Washington State. Since its death last Tuesday, the mother has been seen carrying the corpse of her dead calf on her forehead, pushing it to the surface of the water. The dwindling population of endangered southern resident killer whales has fallen to 75.
