T021/O21 Pandora (Female; ~1952-2013 (~61))
On February 13, 1993, T021/O21, T020/O20, and T022 were observed being chased by J Pod in Descano Bay. J Pod seemed to be trying to drive the group onto the beach. All whales involved were extremely agitated and were vocalizing intensely. There were fresh rake marks on T020/O20's dorsal and T022's flank. As a ferry backed out of the dock and disrupted the interaction, the T021's dove and surface on the far side of the bay, still being perused by J Pod, 20-30 minuets later, after an hour of being perused by J Pod, the T021's managed to head through Dodd Narrows, where J Pod didn't follow. It is possible that the presence of the newborn J28 may have been the cause of the aggression. As Transients are mammal eaters, J Pod may have been a defensive action to discourage the transients from approaching the pod
