Who's Traveling With Who Now?

and then came January 2013...
Group B+  (the + stands for the J16s) were together every time they were seen in January...

This is an update as I see it as of the end of 2012...

-As of right now it appears that J pod, for the most part, is no longer doing their obvious split groupings - Group A and Group B. I'll keep the prior post as is, because it gives the breakdown of who's where, and goes with the posts of the last couple years.  It might not hold true in the future.  The whales will let us know :)

-However, they seem to still be traveling pretty much in those groupings when traveling as the full J pod. Sort of like how we like to be with our friends.  No different.

Group A and Group B

Who Belongs Where in J Pod Group A and Group B?

In 2010 J pod began spending time in split groups. 

For the most part they have kept their split group configuration the same.

I began calling them Group A and Group B.
It was easier than listing their names/numbers all the time.
