>The whale believed to be Toki’s mother is the matriarch of L-pod, one of three clans that make up the so-called southern resident killer whales, a genetically and socially distinct population that frequents the Salish Sea between Washington and British Columbia. There are 73 southern residents remaining.
The naming conventions used in this article confused me for a bit, but if I am understanding this correctly this Orca's (read: Lolita/Toki's) mother is still alive and is still the Matriarch of that same Pod? I didn't realize these animals lived as long as 80 years (per Wikipedia).
