This just in from the Whale Museum…
On August 9th the Center for Whale Research confirmed that L-121 is a male. They reported finding Cousteau (L-113), Joy (L-119) and L-121 rolling around and chasing one another with adults fishing off in the distance.
The gender of all four babies of the Southern Resident Community have now been confirmed. One female J-50 born to Slick (J-16), and three males; J-51 born to Eclipse (J-41), J-52 born to Alki (J-36) and L-121 born to Calypso (L-94).
