Current Matriarch: T125
Number of Individuals: 5 (4 living- 1 female, 3 male; 1 deceased- 1 male)
T125 (Female; <1976)
Presumed mother of T126, T127, and T128
T126 (Male; ~1974-?(~?))
Was possibly son of T125, and if he was, he's likely younger than listed
T127 Hacksaw (Male; ~1984)
May be younger than listed given the his presumed birth year and that of his presumed mother
T128 Flotsam (Male; ~1988)
Has dispersed from the rest of the group and travels with T125A. An interesting summary of an interaction between the two brothers and the possible cause for severe raking on T128's dorsal fin in May 2023 can be found here and is worth the read
T125A Jetsam (Male; ~1998)
