Injured transient orca swimming successfully near Anacortes
An orca that was injured when its transient pod passed through Kitsap in August is now in seemingly good health.
Jack, also known as T137A, suffered an injury to his tail that resulted in the whale swimming slowly and acting strangely in August. When researchers from the Center of Whale Research observed the transient orcas by boat, Jack wasn’t diving, stayed close to the surface and sometimes would fall nearly a mile behind the rest of the group.
Erin Gless, lead naturalist at Island Adventures in Anacortes, said she saw Jack on Saturday swimming successfully with his family.
“He was surfing the wake of a big tanker and eating a nice sea lion lunch,” she said.
