Been rewatching A&B series and I wondered one thing...

Was Tracker aware of the fact that Barnacles has Claustrophobia?

Im pretty sure he isnt.

I'm pretty sure he is.

Evidence 1: He was there when it happened.

That's little Tracker!! He was right front in center, peering down the hole, and helping him get back on his feet. When Barnacles is safe, Bianca and Tracker BOTH hug him.

Evidence 2: When he falls into a hole himself in the missing lake, he has to call Barnacles and tell him what happened...

His tone shifts when he starts explaining his situation. He goes from professional, to nervous, in only a second. He could be embarrassed about getting himself stuck, but I like to imagine he was also thinking about Barnacles, and remembering the time he went through the exact same thing.

Evidence 3: They are very good friends. They have been friends since they were cubs, and Barnacles is the reason Tracker has his position/job in the Polar Emergency Post. You don't go through a lifelong friendship with someone, without learning a few things about them; so it's hard for me to believe that Tracker wouldn't know about his fear.
