About k Pod
K pod has always been the smallest pod, though they seem to have females that are prolific breeders with some having 4-6 offspring. They are known to travel offshore Vancouver Island and frequent Northern California, travelling as far south as Monterey Bay during the winter months. In 2015, researcher Jodi Smith was able to get out and photo identify members of K pod off Little River, Mendocino County, CA.
