A British Columbia marine research group says a female killer whale died on Mar. 24 after being stranded in shallow water near the Village of Zeballos on the west side of Vancouver Island.

The Marine Education & Research Society says in a social media post that the animal has been identified as a Bigg’s killer whale, given the designation of T109A3, who was born in 2009 and had a calf in 2022.
