2017 you evil bastard! It didn’t take long for the new year to pick up where 2016 left off, as the world’s most beloved killer whale has gone to meet the choir invisible. J2, better known by her peeps as Granny the killer whale, has not been seen since October and is presumed deceased.
This is important because Granny had been the oldest killer whale in the world — estimated by scientists to be 105 years old. Orcas in the wild usually have a lifespan of 60-85 years.
If she was indeed born in 1911, that’s one year before the Titanic sunk.
