Ken Balcomb, one of the foremost killer whale experts on the planet, has discovered that 3 pods of orca whales are in danger from PBC. The 3 pods are named J, K and L, and through 1995 to 2000, ten males in the 3 pods died The reason females are surviving and so many males are not is that when a mother orca nurses her calf she offloads huge amounts of chemicals such as pcbs that are stored in her lipid rich milk. Often first-born calves do not survive. But second and third born survive after the mother is rid of much of her toxic load.
