HOOD CANAL, Wash. — There's a new baby orca whale hanging out in the Hood Canal area of Washington state.
A whale-watching group, Puget Sound Express, says it spotted on Monday a healthy newborn calf with the whale pod known as the T65As.
The family of six is led by a mother whale, the leader of the pod who has had five orca calves since she was born in 1986.
The whale-watchers say some of the younger orcas were spotted leading some hunts.
The transient orcas hunt for harbor seals and sea lions for food.
