June 1994, Finlayson Channel, British Columbia
These two clips are taken from a video of a Pacific white-sided dolphin harassing several transient Killer Whale cows and calves. White-sided dolphins have been observed a number of times acting in a highly aggressive manner toward other larger whales. In this case, the dolphin is harassing the calves, and the females are trying to kill it or drive it off. The males are noticeable by their absence. Though the dolphin is faster and more maneuverable than the female Killer Whales, the whales manage to contact the dolphin on numerous occasions--in spite of which the dolphin returns to the fray apparently uninjured. Finally the dolphin appears to lose interest and the pod of Killer Whales peacefully departs the scene.
