It's #2 in the dictionary:
Pod [pod]
sustantivo
1 Vaina, legumbre, la corteza en que están encerradas algunas legumbres; cápsula de una planta.
2 Manada, rebaño, colección de animales, especialmente de focas, ballenas, o morsa

Good advice, pointing out the dictionary! - Delores--Lindsey, JUN 1, 2010
Thanks. I saw that entry, but when I look up manada and rebaño they do not refer specifically to a whale pod. It seems they mean herd. Maybe there isn't a specific word (other than herd) in Spanish, like there is in English. - Karlin, JUN 1, 2010
I would definitively use manada when talking about a group of whales or other aquatic animals. - tamalmalamarrado, JUN 2, 2010
