About Tahlequah
Tahlequah, also known as J35, is an orca of the southern resident community in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. She has given birth to five known offspring, a male in 2010, a female (Tali) in 2018, a male in 2020, a female (J61) in 2024 and another male in 2026 (J65). Her second calf, Tali, died shortly after birth, and J35 carried her body for 17 days in an apparent show of grief that attracted international attention. Her fourth calf died within days of her birth and was also carried by Tahlequah.
