Canadian and U.S. scientists, who successfully reunited a lost orca whale with her family pod this summer, are wondering if they should launch a similar effort for a second killer whale.
The whale, known to scientists as L98, has been living alone off Vancouver Island’s west coast since last year, after becoming separated from a pod that normally summers in the waters of Washington state’s Puget Sound.
Canadian fisheries officials said Thursday that a panel of whale experts will decide if they should attempt to capture the young male next summer and relocate it closer to where its relatives normally are. Reuters/Yahoo!
