BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — Washington state researchers have confirmed an orca that injured its tail when its transient pod swam through Kitsap now appears healthy. The Kitsap Sun reported Tuesday that researchers from the Center of Whale Research confirmed they saw the killer whale named Jack swimming with his family north of the San Juan Islands without any noticeable signs of injury. Researchers say when they observed the pod by boat last year the whale was injured, swimming slowly, not diving and falling about a mile behind the rest of the whales in the group. Researchers say there was worry if the whale would recover, but he is doing fine.
