## Southern Resident Killer Whale Birthdays

**Note:** for any whales whose exact birth date isn't known, their age is indicated as *"est."*. Whales whose birth date isn't known but birth month is known will have their birth date listed as the first of the month, and their birthday will be marked with an asterisk. If only their birth season is known, their birthdate is listed as the first day of the season and will be marked with two asterisks. Whales whose birth month is unknown are listed at the bottom of the page and their age is updated on the first day of every year. If their birth year is estimated, it will be marked by an asterisk. Only living killer whales have their birthdays listed. **The only surviving captive Southern Resident, Tokitae, has her birthday listed as her capture date, NOT her exact birthdate.**
