The southern resident killer whales (SRKW) represent the smallest of four resident communities within the Northwestern portion of North America Pacific Ocean. It is the only killer whale population listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. It is currently protected under the Endangered Species Act as of 2005.[1] They are commonly referred to as the "orcas of the Salish Sea",[2] "fish-eating orcas", or the "SRKW" population. Unlike other resident communities, the SRKW is only one clan (J) that consists of 3 pods (J, K, L) with several matrilines within each pod.[3] There are approximately 80 individuals that make up this small population. The world's oldest known killer whale, Granny or J2, belongs to J pod of the SRKW population.[4] Estimated to have been born around 1911, J2 is about 103 years old.
