Jonah is an amicable juvenile whose mother is Sophocles. She has recently taken on the role of a caretaker within her social group, regularly tending to a pair of rambunctious new calves.

We documented Jonah on Nov 23 and 27, 2021, in the company of members of her social group as well as Unit D. The following year we saw her again on two days in December. She was more confident in 2022 as she boldly approached us on her own for close passes. At times Jonah was accompanied by Jocasta’s calf, and during another memorable encounter the large juvenile slipstreamed under Sophocles as they traveled together as a pair.

As of 2022, Jonah’s flukes are now more distinctive with a scallop on the right fluke and a small V-shaped divot on the left fluke. Her right pectoral fin has been damaged and now features a sizable bite mark. The left pectoral fin has also been bitten and is missing a smaller portion of flesh.
