T049A Nan (Female; 1986)

T049A2 Jude (Male; 2007)
Was found to be 5.8m (19.02ft) long in a 2020 photogrammetry study. Dorsal fin leans to the right slightly. Has dispersed from the rest of the group. Became trapped in Barnes Lake, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, with T051 in October 2023 after becoming trapped in the lake in mid August. The pair was trapped for six weeks, presumably after entering while hunting during a high tide period. They were lured out by playing calls, but the first time they tried, T051 became hesitant to enter the thick kelp beds, however, they both left through the narrow, shallower channel when calls were once again played. Dorsal fin has started to develop a pronounced hook on the right side
