• L67 Splash (1985-2008 (23))

  • Her ability to raise a calf was in question when she had L98, as she seemed to leave her calf with K18 to the point that it was thought that K18 was the mother instead of L67.

  • L98 Luna/Tsux'iit (Soo-keet) (Male; 1999-2006 (7))

    • In July 2001, L98 appeared alone in Muchalat Inlet, Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island, BC. In September 2002, L98 had started constantly following boats, leading to concern that he'd injure or possibly kill himself accidentally. He likely continued to interact with boats as orcas are solcial creatures and he was compensating for being alone by rubbing up against and being near boats. Despite multiple attempts by the DFO to capture L98, the first nations tribes refused to let him be captured as the interpreted L98 as the reincarnation of their chief who'd died a few days prior to L98's arrival in the sound. After many attempts to capture L98 and an attempt to lead him to the Southern Residents so they could reunite naturally, L98 finally died on March 10, 2006 after being pulled into the propellers of an idling tug boat he often visited.  His body was so damaged that nothing could be recovered for research.
