The picture below is of a Yellow-bellied Marmot (Marmota flaviventris), also known as the Rock Chuck, is a ground squirrel.. It lives in the Western US and southwestern Canada. Yellow-bellied Marmots usually weigh between 5 and 11 pounds (2 and 5 kg) when fully grown. It is very unusual to see Marmots in Victoria.
What a day on the water with both Lpod, Jpod and Kpod in our area! Our tour this morning caught up with Lpod who were heading out west and we had a wonderful time watching L41 and the other members of Lpod.
In the afternoon J & K Pod had traveled all the way from near the mouth of the Frazer River to Turn Point, which is where we encountered them. The Orcas were travelling at over 7 knots and we could see a lot of high speed porpoising. The highlight of the tour was when we witnessed a very high spyhop by J2 "Granny", an amazing feet for an old girl of 98!
