"If orcas were to celebrate Mother’s Day, J-Pod would have had a really big party Sunday. The festivities would be for J2 — more commonly known as Granny, the world’s oldest known orca. Granny is believed to be 103 years old, which is far in excess of the average lifespan of 60 to 80 years for a wild orca. Captain Simon Pidcock of Ocean EcoVentures in Cowichan Bay was happy to spot the distinctive whale on Friday in the waters between Point Roberts in Washington state and East Point on Saturna Island. “We’re all really excited to see her come back,” Pidcock said Sunday during a break from participating in his own Mother’s Day celebration."
