B1 pod was long known for its unusually high number of males. Although two old males, B1 and B2 died in 1998, the pod is still comprised mostly of males. The pod travels alone more than any other northern resident group, perhaps due to its preonderance of males.
The matriarch is Scarlet B7. She had between 1964 and 1995 7 calves, which 6 are males.
In 1964 B8, Izumi was born. Izumi died in 2002. After almost 13 years Scarlet had her second calf, B10, Slingsby in 1979. Then after 5 years she had B12, Nakwakto in 1984 who died in 2006. Three years later she had her fourth son, B13, Yaculta, born in 1987.
Then in 1991 she had her only daughter B14, Klaskish, who had her first calf, B16, Arrow, in 2004.
In 1995 Scarlet had her last son B15, Raven.
