Список пленных орков

Orca show at SeaWorld San Diego

Орки , или убийственные киты, являются большими хищными китообразными , которые впервые были захвачены вживую и выставлены на выставках в 1960 -х годах. Вскоре они стали популярными достопримечательностями в общественных аквариумах и водных тематических парках из -за их интеллекта, обучения, поражения внешности, игривости в плену и чистого размера. По состоянию на февраль 2019 года пленные орки проживают в учреждениях в Северной и Южной Америке, Европе и Азии.

Первая северо -восточная часть Тихого океана, Ванда, была захвачена в ноябре 1961 года командой коллекционирования из Мариновой из Тихого океана , и в течение следующих 15 лет для этой цели были взяты из Тихого океана. Когда Закон о защите морских млекопитающих США 1972 года эффективно остановил захват тихоокеанских орков, захваты были сделаны в исландских водах. С 2010 года захваты были сделаны в русских водах. Тем не менее, объекты в Соединенных Штатах, такие как SeaWorld , не собрали дикие орки более 35 лет.

25 of the 33 orcas on display in the US, Argentina, Spain, and France were born in captivity. Six of the seven displayed in Japan are captive-born. An additional 13 orcas reported in China and Russia were captured in Russian waters. Kalina, born in September 1985, was the first captive-born orca calf to survive more than a few days. In September 2001, Kasatka gave birth to Nakai, the first orca conceived through artificial insemination, at SeaWorld San Diego. This technique lets park owners maintain a more healthy genetic mix in the small groups of orcas at each park, while avoiding the stress of moving orcas for breeding purposes.

Notable captive orcas

Living

Adán

Adán (Spanish variation of "Adam") measured about 6.6 feet (2.0 m) and weighed 330 pounds at birth. He was born on October 13, 2010, at Loro Parque. He is the result of inbreeding between Kohana and Keto. His mother, eight-year-old Kohana, showed no maternal interest in him at birth. As a result, he was bottle-fed by staff until May 2011 when he was permanently moved onto fish. Adán's only full-blooded sibling, Victoria, died in 2013.

Corky II

Main article: Corky (orca)

Corky performing at SeaWorld, San Diego, California

Corky II, more commonly known as Corky, is a 59-year-old female orca at SeaWorld San Diego. She is the longest-held captive orca in the world, the largest female orca in captivity at 20 feet long and 8,500 pounds, and the oldest orca to ever be displayed to the public. She is now the only survivor from the Northern Resident captures. Around the age of four, Corky was captured in Pender Harbour off the coast of British Columbia on December 11, 1969. From there, she went to Marineland of the Pacific and lived with three other orcas. However, the two orcas who she was captured with died after three years and she spent most of her time at Marineland with an orca bull named Orky. Corky has been pregnant seven times, resulting in four live births from 1977 to 1985 (with two failures in 1986 and 1987), none of which survived the first two months of life.

On January 21, 1987, during her seventh pregnancy, she and Orky were moved to SeaWorld San Diego. She settled well in the new environment, but she had problems with one of the Icelandic orcas, Kandu V. The two females fought for dominance and it peaked during a show in 1989, resulting in Kandu's death. Corky is also used as the "Welcome Whale" for new trainers and new orcas. She has also "adopted" some of the whales she has been with. She has been a surrogate mother to Sumar, Splash, Orkid, and Keet. Corky is easy to identify, mostly because of her large size for a female, her tall unbent dorsal fin, the small 'chips' in her dorsal fin, and a nick in her left dorsal fluke. She also has experienced problems in aggression from a male named Ulises. "At SeaWorld, Ulises is dominant over some of the female orcas, especially Corky. In fact, trainers would not allow Corky and Ulises to be in the same pool unless Kasatka, the then ultimate matriarch, was present to keep both whales calm." Since Kasatka's death in 2017, Corky and Ulises are no longer allowed to be in the same pool together.

Earth

Earth (アース, Āsu) was born at Kamogawa Sea World located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, on October 13, 2008. "Kamogawa is the location of Kamogawa Seaworld, which opened in 1970. . . Lovey gave birth to Earth on October 13, 2008, which makes Lovey the first captive-born mother in a Japanese marine park". His mother is Lovey and his father is Oscar who died on December 21, 2012.

Ikaika

Ikaika (pronounced ee-KY-ka; Hawaiian for "strong") is a male orca born at SeaWorld Orlando in Florida on August 25, 2002. He is the offspring of Tilikum (father) and Katina (mother), making him Katina's fifth calf. To decide the name of the newborn whale a poll was taken. The following names were chosen to be on the poll: Ikaika (Hawaiian for "strong"), Mottaka (Icelandic for "reception"), Ramu (in honor of the late whale by that name), Tsunami (Japanese) and Ramius (after the Captain in "The Hunt for Red October").

Ikaika was transferred to Marineland of Canada in Ontario, Canada on a breeding loan on November 18, 2006, in exchange for three male beluga whales – Juno, Aurek, and Klondike – who joined Spooky within the Wild Arctic area of SeaWorld Orlando. Ikaika is a maturing male: his dorsal fin has collapsed, his flukes have fully made a curve, and he is about 21.9 feet (6.7 m) long and 9,900 pounds (4,500 kg). On November 13, 2011, Ikaika was transported to SeaWorld San Diego, where he joined six other orcas; Ulises, Corky, Orkid, Kasatka, Nakai and Kalia. As of December 2021, Ikaika is SeaWorld San Diego's largest orca as well as the largest orca in the US weighing in at 9,900 pounds and 21.9 ft long. He spends most of his time with Corky or Makani.

Kalia

Kalia was born at SeaWorld San Diego on December 21, 2004 at 9:22 a.m. in Shamu Stadium's main show pool following a little more than two hours of labor and was estimated to weigh between 300 pounds and 500 pounds and measure 6 to 7 feet. Her parents are Kasatka and Keet. She is also known as GreatGrandbaby Shamu. Her siblings are Takara (1991) Nakai (2001-2022), Halyn (2005–2008) and Makani (2013). The name Kalia is Hawaiian for "beauty". Kalia met her father for the first time when he returned to San Diego in February 2012. Kalia gave birth to Amaya on December 2, 2014, at 12:34 pm. Amaya's father was Ulises, the form of conception is unknown, either naturally or through artificial insemination. Amaya died in 2021. Since her mother's passing in 2017, Kalia has taken over as the matriarch of the San Diego pod.

Katina

Main article: Katina (orca)

From Left: Ikaika, Katina, and Taku perform in SeaWorld Orlando

Katina is a female who lives in SeaWorld Orlando. She was captured near Iceland at about three years of age on October 26, 1978. She is healthy and the most successful breeding female orca in captivity. At 16 feet 4 inches (4.98 m) and about 5,600 pounds (2,500 kg), Katina is small compared to other females, but she is rather bulky.

Upon her capture, Katina was purchased by Marineland (Ontario). In 1979, Katina was bought by SeaWorld and was sent to their park in San Diego. In 1982, Katina was moved to SeaWorld Ohio in Aurora, Ohio, with another female named Kasatka, with whom she was captured in 1978. For two years, the two would perform in the Ohio park during the summer months and then be moved back to San Diego for the winter. Finally, in 1984, Katina was transferred to the SeaWorld in Orlando.

Katina became pregnant in early spring of 1984 at SeaWorld San Diego from a male named Winston. Soon after, she was moved back to SeaWorld Ohio for the summer. The trainers soon realized she was pregnant, so she was moved to Orlando at the end of the summer season, where she gave birth on September 26, 1985, to a female who was named Kalina. Although ten orca calves had been born in captivity prior to Kalina, none had survived past a few weeks. Kalina was the first orca calf to be successfully born and raised in captivity. Kalina was taken from her mother at 4 years 5 months and conducted on a trip around all four SeaWorld parks.

In early 1987, an adult male named Kanduke arrived in Orlando. He and Katina soon mated. Katina bore her second calf on November 4, 1988, a female named Katerina. In early 1991 at a very early age Katerina was transferred out of Orlando. Katerina died on May 5, 1999, at SeaWorld San Antonio at 10.5 years of age. A male named Tilikum came to SeaWorld in January 1992. It wasn't long before Katina was pregnant again. She gave birth to her first son on September 9, 1993, named Taku. Katina's next calf came on December 27, 1996, a female named Unna. Her fifth calf was a male born on August 25, 2002, named Ikaika. Katina gave birth to her sixth calf, a female named Nalani, on September 18, 2006. She gave birth to her seventh calf, a male named Makaio on October 9, 2010, at 7:28 p.m. The great-grandmother went into labor at 6:47 p.m. and delivered a 7-foot (2.1 m)-long, 350-pound male calf. He swam to the surface moments later for his first breath. She has six grandchildren, Keet, Keto, Tuar, Skyla, Trua and Nalani, as well as four great-grandchildren, Kalia, Halyn, Adán and Vicky. Kalia gave birth to Katina's first great-great-grandchild, Amaya, on December 2, 2014.

Katina lives with two of her seven calves (Nalani and Makaio) and her grandson (Trua). She is always with her calf, but is also with Nalani quite often. She is grouped with her son Makaio, Trua, Malia, and Nalani.

Katina appeared on a That's My Baby episode, where she gave birth to Ikaika.

Keet

Keet is a bull orca who was born on February 2, 1993, in SeaWorld San Antonio. "Keet" is a Tlingit language word meaning "orca". His parents are Kalina and Kotar. Keet currently measures about 20.6 feet (6.3 m) and weighs 8,900 pounds (4,000 kg). Keet is also known as Grandbaby Shamu because his mother is the first orca to be born and raised under human care successfully.

When he was 1 year and 8 months of age, his mother was moved to SeaWorld Orlando in Florida to support her next pregnancy, Keet's brother Keto was born in 1995. Katerina, his aunt, was moved in from SeaWorld Ohio. In 1995, his father, Kotar, died. On May 5, 1999, Katerina died. Five months later, two females named Kayla and Winnie were moved in. In November 1999, he was moved to SeaWorld San Diego in California. There, he met his brother, Keto, and his playmate, Sumar. All three whales were moved to SeaWorld Ohio in February 2000. On February 15, 2001, Keet was returned to California; Sumar followed three days later, while Keto was relocated to SeaWorld San Antonio in Texas. Keet's best friends were the bull Ulises and a maturing male named Splash. On April 24, 2004, Keet was moved to his birthplace, meeting Kyuquot, Unna, Kayla, Keto, Tuar, and Tekoa.

Keet is a gentle and agile performer. On December 21, 2004, he became a father for the first time when Kalia, his daughter, was born at SeaWorld San Diego. On October 9, 2005, his mate Kayla gave birth to his second daughter Halyn, at SeaWorld San Antonio. He may have fathered Unna's stillborn in April 2006 and Kayla's miscarriage in spring 2007. Keet may have fathered the possible 2 extra pregnancies of Unna claimed by Bridgette Pirtle. Keet was the lowest ranking adult orca in the dominance chain at SeaWorld Texas. He is very sweet and was often used as a "starter whale" for new trainers along with a younger male named Tuar. On June 15, 2008, SeaWorld announced Halyn died unexpectedly; a necropsy was performed and the test results have been announced.

Keet moved back to Seaworld San Diego on February 27, 2012, and he has been reunited with three of his old friends Corky, Ulises and Orkid. He met his first daughter Kalia who was 7 years old when he returned. Keet became a grandfather on December 2, 2014, when Kalia gave birth to Amaya.

Keijo

Keijo is a bull orca who was born in captivity at Marineland Antibes on November 20, 2013. Keijo weighs about 330 pounds (Jan 2014). His father is Wikie's half-brother Valentin".

Keto

Keto is a bull orca who was born on June 17, 1995. His parents are Kalina and Kotar. Keto has lived at all four Seaworld parks since he was separated from his mother at age 3.

When Keto was 10 years old he was moved to Loro Parque with Tekoa, his half-niece Kohana, and his half-sister Skyla. On Christmas Eve 2009, Keto killed trainer Alexis Martinez during training.

Kshamenk

Kshamenk (pronounced sha-MEN-k) is a male orca that was taken from the wild off the coast of Argentina in 1992. The population he comes from is unknown. He was approximately five years old at the time. Initial reports said that Kshamenk, along with three members of his pod, had stranded and been "rescued" by Mundo Marino. However, it was later revealed that Mundo Marino had "force stranded" the whales by placing a large net between the whales and the shore. When the tide went out, the whales were left stranded on the beach. One was released, one died on the way to the aquarium, one beat himself to death on the walls of his enclosure, and one, Kshamenk, survived.

When Kshamenk arrived at Mundo Marino he was kept with a female orca, "Belen." They performed in the orca show together for eight years. Kshamenk impregnated Belen in 1998 but the female calf was stillborn 16 months later. Belen died shortly after in February 2000, leaving Kshamenk alone. After a veterinary evaluation in 2006, Kshamenk was considered non-releasable.

In November 2001 Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, located in Aurora, Ohio, filed a request to import Kshamenk with the National Marine Fisheries Service. 35 anti-captivity organizations including the Wild Earth Foundation, Humane Society of the United States, Cetacean Society International, and Earth Island Institute, opposed the transfer of Kshamenk in favor of his rehabilitation and release. In July 2002 the Secretary of the Environment of Argentina and CITES Argentina denied the request of Mundo Marino to export the whale. In Argentina, it is illegal to export native fauna, and as a wild born orca, Kshamenk is a part of the commonwealth.

Kshamenk still resides at Mundo Marino. On February 14, 2013, Kshamenk became a father via artificial insemination to Makani, a male calf born to Kasatka at SeaWorld San Diego, and to a female calf named Kamea, born to Takara at SeaWorld San Antonio on December 6, 2013.

Kyuquot

Kyuquot is an orca at the Seaworld San Antonio, Texas. His parents are Tilikum and Haida II, he was born on Christmas Eve in 1991, at Sealand Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Ky only lived here for a short amount of time. After an incident in which a trainer died he moved to a SeaWorld park. Kyuquot was very close to his mother, who died in 2001. Over time, Ky became very close to several females who came to Texas, but is now often grouped with his half-brother, Tuar.

He used to perform waterworks, though after several incidents, he was not allowed to anymore. Ky is a very large male and can still do many athletic behaviors such as front flips. He is the largest orca at San Antonio, weighing over 9,000 pounds and over 22 ft long. He is a reliable whale and is most often grouped with Tuar, though he likes spending time with Takara and can be seen with any of his pod mates. On April 19, 2017, Takara gave birth to Kyara, and after Kyara died at 3 months old, it was announced that DNA tests showed that Kyuquot was her father.

Lovey

Lovey (ラビー, Rabī) was born on January 11, 1998, at Kamogawa Sea World, to mother Stella and father Bingo/Thor. She was the first orca calf born successfully in Japan (there had been five calves born before her, but none lived for more than ten days). The only other orca at KSW at the time of her birth was Oscar, who would mate with her later on, once she was older. Her first calf was a male born on October 13, 2008, named Earth. Earth measures about 11.5 feet and weighs in at around 1,543 pounds (2011). Lovey's stage name is Oyako, Japanese for "parent and child". On July 19, 2012, Lovey gave birth to her second calf, a female named Luna. Luna measures about 7.8 feet and weighs in at around 620 pounds (November 2012). Her father is Oscar.

Lynn

Lynn is a female calf residing at the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium in Japan. She currently measures 3.9 metres (13 ft) long and weighs 952.5 kilograms (2,100 lb). Lynn was born on November 13, 2012, to mother Stella and father Bingo. Unlike most orcas, Lynn was born head first, as was her older sister Ran 2. A public naming contest was held from March 20 to May 6, 2013. The park received a total of 19,384 applicants and 5,062 individual names, and settled on Lynn. Initial western reports named her as Rin, the direct but inaccurate Hepburn romanization of her name in katakana. Later content provided by the aquarium confirmed the correct transcription as Lynn.

Malia

Kayla and Malia performing in One Ocean at SeaWorld Orlando in the side by side segment:

Malia was born to Taima and Tilikum at SeaWorld Orlando on March 12, 2007. She was Taima's third calf and her name is Hawaiian for "calm and peaceful". She is learning new behaviors all the time and is used in shows daily alongside the other young orcas at SeaWorld Orlando. Malia's mother Taima died in June 2010 after a difficult labor that resulted in a stillborn male calf. Her eyepatches are long and skinny, and she has no marks, rakes, or chips in her tail fluke. Her teeth have bore holes where the pulp has been drilled to prevent bacterial infection as her teeth are worn down or broken by chewing on tank equipment. In January 2018, it was noted that Malia had begun to develop what appears to be a phototoxic reaction to unknown medications she is being given, but SeaWorld has not made any public statements regarding her condition. Photographs show her with a brownish lesion extending along her lower jaw, similar to the lesions that Kasatka displayed in the months before her death. This may be a worrying sign that Malia is being treated for a serious infection, and that the illness is being exacerbated by exposure to sunlight in her clear, shallow enclosure with little protection from the sun.

Malvina

Malvina is a 7-year-old female orca who arrived at TINRO in summer or fall 2015 from Russia. Unfortunately, not much is known about Malvina. Her location is unknown. She was believed to be captured in one of three captures in July 2015. "Newer" info also says that she had escaped or died in 2016. Nothing has been confirmed.

Makaio

Katina (orca) delivered her 7th calf on October 9, 2010, after a short 41-minute labor. The father is Tilikum. It was announced on November 3, 2010, that the calf was a healthy boy. The calf has interacted with all the members of the pod, and plays well with them. His name was decided by a poll with three names to vote for on SeaWorld Orlando's official Facebook page. The names were Nico, Greek for "Victory", Makaio, the Hawaiian form of the name Matthew, meaning "Gift of God," or Haruki, Japanese for "Shining Brightly." Makaio was the name chosen. He can be seen in SeaWorld's Orca Encounter show.

Makani

Kasatka's fourth calf is a male, born on Valentine's Day 2013 at 6:33 a.m. His name was chosen by a poll. The choices were "Hako", Norse for "chosen son", "Valentino", Italian for "strong", and "Makani", Hawaiian for "the wind". His name was announced on June 14, 2013. His siblings are Kalia, Nakai, and Takara. His father is Kshamenk at Mundo Marino. Makani can already swim upside down and wave his fluke. Makani can also do complex behaviors. Makani's father, Kshamenk, is an Argentinian transient orca (origin unknown) and his mother, Kasatka, is a resident Icelandic orca, making him a hybrid of the two vastly different ecotypes. Other such hybrids include the late Taima, her deceased sister Katerina, Taima's three calves and Kamea. Currently, Makani is 11 years old, measures at least 17.4 feet long and weighs 4,500 pounds which makes him massive compared to most other young males his age and is currently growing at a rapid pace.

Moana

On March 16, 2011, Wikie gave birth to Moana, her first calf in Marineland of Antibes. Initially, it was stated that the calf was a girl so they had a naming contest on Facebook and the name "Moana" (Maori for "ocean") won, but a report in July confirmed that she was in fact a he. Marineland confirmed that his name will not be changed. It is also confirmed that Ulises of SeaWorld San Diego is the father. The calf was conceived via artificial insemination. He died on October 18, 2023.

Moana became a big brother when his mother gave birth to Keijo on November 20, 2013.

Morgan

Main article: Morgan (orca)

Morgan was rescued from the Wadden Sea on June 23, 2010. The estimated 1.5 year-old orca was alone, malnourished and underweight. She was transferred to Dolfinarium Harderwijk where she was taken care of for several months. After it became clear she couldn't be released into the wild, the Dolfinarium searched for another facility to take care of her, because their basins were too small. Morgan moved to Loro Parque on November 29, 2011. In 2012, Loro Parque announced there was a good possibility that Morgan is partially deaf. In December 2017, Loro Parque announced Morgan was pregnant with her first calf. She gave birth to the calf, named Ula, on September 22, 2018. Ula died on August 10, 2021.

Naja/Naya

Naja, also known as Naya, Juliet, and Malishka, is a Russian transient orca born in c. 2010 She was captured in 2014 and currently resides at the Moskvarium, an aquarium within the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy. In 2019, footage of Juliet beaching during a performance at the Moskvarium whilst staff took no attempt to assist her went viral, leading to an outcry from activists for a ban on orca captivity and breeding. It was announced that Naja was pregnant with her first calf in 2023, which came after the deaths of both her pod mates, Narnia and Nord, earlier that year. On 29 December 2023, Naja gave birth to a daughter. But her daughter died on 26 January 2024 due to cardiac malfunction at 29 days old.

Nalani

Nalani performing with Trua in the SeaWorld Orlando One Ocean show.

Nalani is a female orca who currently resides at SeaWorld Orlando, where she was born on September 18, 2006. Her parents are Katina and Taku (who is, due to inbreeding, also her brother). She is Katina's sixth calf, and was Taku's second. She is a very loving and curious youngster, but was very dependent on her mother in the first few years. She is learning fast, as she is used in shows regularly alongside Trua, Malia, and Katina. An easy way to identify Nalani is how plump she is. She's grown to be bulky, like her mom, has round eyepatches, and her dorsal fin curves slightly to the left.

Orkid

Orkid was born September 23, 1988, in SeaWorld San Diego, California. Orkid's parents are Kandu V (her mother), and Orky II (her father). She was the first orca born in the San Diego SeaWorld Park successfully. Orky II died only three days after Orkid was born. She was named Orkid, in memory of her father (most likely a combination of "Orky" and "kid"). In August 1989, Kandu V charged Corky II during a live show. The blow broke Kandu V's jaw, and severed an artery in Kandu's head; apparently in an attempt to assert her dominance over Corky II. As a result, she began spouting blood with every breath she took. Forty five minutes later Kandu V sank to the bottom of the pool and bled to death. Orkid witnessed this; for weeks after the incident, she would circle the tanks calling out and vocalizing. However, she was raised by Corky, and later befriended a male named Splash. Orkid has been artificially inseminated many times, but has never gotten pregnant. Orkid is highly intelligent (having been affectionately nicknamed by trainers the "Rocket Scientist") and knows hundreds of behaviors. Only the most senior trainers are to work with her, as she has shown aggression toward trainers in the past. After an incident in 2006 where she dragged a trainer to the bottom of the show pool, Orkid has been barred from performing waterworks with trainers.

Sakari

Sakari was born on January 7, 2010, at SeaWorld San Antonio. Her mother is Takara and her father is Tilikum. Siblings on her mother's side include Kohana, Trua and Kamea. "Sakari" is an Inuit language word meaning "sweet."

Shouka

Born on February 25, 1993, in Antibes, France, to Sharkane and Kim 2, the female orca's first nine years were spent with her parents and siblings. In 2002, she was moved to Six Flags Worlds of Adventure (former SeaWorld Ohio) in Aurora, Ohio, near Cleveland. After Worlds of Adventure was sold, in 2004 Shouka was moved to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (Marine World Africa USA) in Vallejo, California. She was the only orca at the park but had bottlenose dolphin companions named Merlin and Cupid for 7 years until they were relocated due to compatibility concerns. In July 2012, Shouka began to display aggressive behavior during one of her performances. She lifted a trainer into the air and knocked her trainer back into an open door area that leads to the back of the stage. Even after the trainer was gone, Shouka leaped two more times onto the stage. Six Flags moved Shouka to SeaWorld San Diego the next month in August 2012, where Corky immediately took her under her wing. She is currently fully integrated into the pod of eight orcas and is a highly athletic animal who enjoys working with her trainers. Shouka is known for her bottlenose dolphin vocalizations and for her unique upward-curving tail flukes, which she has had since birth.

Takara

Takara (Japanese for "treasure") was born on July 9, 1991, at SWC to Kasatka and Kotar. She was the second "Baby Shamu" born at SWC, after Orkid in 1988. She gave birth to her first calf, a female named Kohana on May 3, 2002. Kasatka was by her side during the labor and she and Takara helped assist Kohana to the surface to take her first breath. She was conceived via artificial insemination, the father being Tilikum, a bull orca who had been living on the other side of the country at SeaWorld Orlando. Takara is an average sized female measuring 17.3-foot (5.3 m), and weighs 5,100 lbs.

Takara and Kohana were transferred to SeaWorld Orlando in 2004, likely to give Taku a mate. A year later, Takara gave birth to her second calf, a male named Trua, fathered by Taku. Kohana was later transferred out of SeaWorld Orlando to Loro Parque, a Spanish amusement park in the Canary Islands.

Takara was transferred to SeaWorld San Antonio in February 2009 in a supposed effort to improve space at SeaWorld Orlando. The move angered many since it separated her from her son, Trua. However, other SeaWorld visitors and workers reported that she would often act aggressively toward Trua. It was later confirmed she was pregnant at the time (again from Tilikum). On January 7, 2010, Takara gave birth to another female calf in the main tank of the "Shamu Theatre" at SeaWorld San Antonio. On March 16, 2010, she was named Sakari, which is an Inuit word for "sweet". Takara became a grandmother on October 12, 2010, when her calf Kohana gave birth to her first calf Adán on October 12, 2010. Kohana had also given birth to Victoria on August 3, 2012. Victoria died on June 16, 2013, when she was 10 months old, of intestinal issues. Takara delivered her fourth calf on December 6, 2013, a healthy female named Kamea. She gave birth to her fifth calf (and SeaWorld's last breeding calf), a female named Kyara, on April 19, 2017. Kyara died two months later, on July 24, due to pneumonia.

Takara was featured in an episode of That's My Baby, where she gave birth to her first calf, Kohana.

Tuar

Tuar is a 25-year-old male orca who lives at SeaWorld San Antonio. His father is Tilikum and his mother is Kalina. He was born at SeaWorld Orlando on June 22, 1999. Tuar used to perform waterworks until they were stopped in 2010.

Trua

Trua, who lives at Seaworld Orlando

Trua is a male orca born at SeaWorld Orlando on November 23, 2005. His parents are Takara and Taku, and his grandfather is Tilikum. Takara and Kohana (his sister) had just been moved to SeaWorld Orlando when she and Taku met. At the time of Trua's birth, Kohana was by Takara's side and thus acted as the midwife. Trua currently lives at SeaWorld Orlando with four other orcas: Katina (matriarch), Nalani, Malia and Makaio.

Trua had been learning waterworks before they were stopped in 2010. Trua's mother Takara was moved to SeaWorld San Antonio on February 5, 2009. Trua is easily identified because of his three dots and belly freckles. Trua has a dot in his eyepatch, and two dots on his neck. His freckles earned him the nickname, "Freckles." As of July 2021, Trua, now 16 years old, measures at a length of 19 feet and weighs 6,600 lbs. Despite this, Trua is not yet fully grown.

Ulises

Main article: Ulises (orca)

Ulises is the oldest and 2nd largest male orca in captivity with Ikaika now being the largest. He is 21 feet (6.4 m) and weighs about 9,800 pounds (4,400 kg). He is currently living at SeaWorld San Diego in California with 7 other whales. He is often nicknamed, "Uli" or "Uli Bear" due to his gentle personality. He was captured in 1980 in Iceland and lived at several European parks including Barcelona Zoo, before being transported to SeaWorld San Diego in 1994. He became a father in 2011, when his son Moana was born through artificial insemination to Wikie at Marineland Antibes, France. On December 2, 2014, at 12:34 pm, a young female named Kalia gave birth to Ulises's daughter, Amaya, at SeaWorld San Diego. It is unknown whether the calf was conceived naturally or through artificial insemination. He is believed to have a low sperm count.

Deceased

This is a list of some notable orcas that died in captivity. It doesn't include every captive death.

O-1087

O-1087 was a Japanese orca and the first captive orca to survive in captivity. They were accidentally captured on May 22, 1911. After their bycatch, they were moved to Kanonji Port, Kanonji City in Japan and "used for show." It is not known what happened to them after that same day, though they likely either died or escaped their enclosure.

Amaya

Amaya was a female orca born on December 2, 2014, at SeaWorld San Diego. Her mother was Kalia and her father was Ulises. Amaya was Kalia's first calf. She was born tail-first and was 6.5 feet long with a weight of 350 pounds at birth; her heritage was 93.75% Icelandic and 6.25% southern resident. She died unexpectedly on August 19, 2021.

Baby Shamu II

Baby Shamu II was born at SeaWorld San Diego in California on January 5, 1986. Her parents were Kenau and Winston. Because she was the second orca born at a SeaWorld park, she was nicknamed Baby Shamu II. The original Baby Shamu, aka Kalina, was her older half-sister, though Kalina had a different mother. Baby Shamu II was never given a real name as she died on January 16, 1986, just 12 days after she was born. The cause of death was a heart defect. Young orcas are born with heart valves open and they should close soon after birth. Unfortunately, Baby Shamu II had a respiratory infection and this worsened her condition. One of the valves did not close which caused Baby Shamu II to pass away. She was 7 feet (2.1m) long and she weighed 135 kg (297 lb).

Bingo

Bingo was a 31-year-old male orca who lived at the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium. He was captured in Iceland in 1984 and is the father of Lovey, Lara, Sarah, Ran II and Lynn and the grandfather of Earth and Luna. He died on August 2, 2014, of a respiratory illness.

Chimo

Chimo (also known as T4), was a young female transient (exclusive mammal-eater) orca exhibited in Sealand of the Pacific in South Oak Bay at The Oak Bay Marina, near the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada from 1970 to 1972. Chimo was the only partially albino orca ever exhibited in captivity. Years before her capture, another pure white orca was spotted in what is suspected to be the same pod, and named "Alice." Alice was never captured, and vanished in the 1960s. Chimo was captured when trying to find a mate for the park's star attraction, Haida. Chimo's probable mother was another orca by the name of Scarredjaw Cow (T3). She was captured alongside Chimo. Chimo died in 1972 from complications caused by Chédiak–Higashi syndrome, the syndrome which caused her albinism. Chimo never bore any calves.

Freya

Freya was a 35-year-old female orca who lived at Marineland of Antibes. She was captured in October 1982 alongside Haida II, Kim II, Nootka IV, and an unnamed male. She and Kim went to Marineland Antibes from Hafnarfjordur Aquarium. She became the first European orca to become pregnant. Freya gave birth in March 1991 to a stillborn calf. She gave birth to another stillborn in March 1993. Sometime between this calf and her next, Freya had a tumor removed, leaving a white indent on her side. Freya gave birth to Valentin on February 13, 1996. In March 2001, Freya had yet another stillborn calf. In April 2003, Freya gave birth to her final calf and her fourth stillborn. She ceased to become pregnant due to birth control and the death of her mate Kim II in 2005. Freya was very depressed, but Valentin usually was able to cheer her up. Freya became a grandmother on November 20, 2013, when Valentin fathered a calf named Keijo, however, since the calf's mother Wikie was Valentin's half-sister, Valentin being the father has not been confirmed. After months of fighting an unknown illness, Freya lost her battle on June 20, 2015, leaving behind her son Valentin and likely grandson Keijo.

Gudrun

Gudrun (Goo drun) was an Icelandic female orca who lived at Dolfinarium Harderwijk in the Netherlands and at SeaWorld Orlando in Florida. Gudrun was caught close to the coast of Iceland on October 25, 1976. She was kept in captivity in the Dolfinarium Harderwijk in the Netherlands, where she was the main attraction. In 1987, Gudrun was moved to SeaWorld Orlando in Florida, United States, on a breeding loan. Gudrun gave birth to Taima on July 11, 1989, at 16:45 EST during a thunderstorm. Gudrun gave birth to Nyar on December 31, 1993. Nyar suffered with illness often. She was so both mentally and physically ill, it was reported that Gudrun tried to drown her during several shows. Nyar died at the age of two years in April 1996. On February 21, 1996, Gudrun went into labor with her last calf, which was fathered by Tilikum. After 20 hours of labor, Gudrun was unable to deliver the calf. Eventually after the physical intervention of park staff, Gudrun delivered a stillborn calf of underermined sex. Due to complications from the delivery, she died four days later.

In 1982, Gudrun was the subject of an experiment in two-communications, designed to see if she could learn new words and incorporate them into her vocabulary.

Hoi Wai

Hoi Wai was a female Orca captured near Iceland in October 1977. Initially brought to the Saedyrasafnid Aquarium in Iceland, she was moved in late October 1977 to the Dolfinarium Harderwijk in the Netherlands. Initially named Peanuts, she was moved to the Windsor Safari Park, where she was to stay until being moved to Ocean Park Hong Kong early in 1979, and where she was renamed Suzie Wong. Due to a dispute between SeaWorld and the safari park, she was transferred to Clacton Pier in August 1978 for the remainder of her training. A storm on New Year's Day 1979 damaged Clacton Pier, and she was sent back to Windsor Safari Park until the end of January.

On January 27, 1979, Suzie Wong was finally moved to Ocean Park Hong Kong, where she was renamed Hoi Wai, and would perform for life. She died on April 21, 1997, after a bloody wound was found in her intestines. Hoi wai was about 5 metres (16 ft) long and weighed about 1,800 kilograms (4,000 lb). She was the only orca at Ocean Park Hong Kong. A newspaper claimed that her skeleton is preserved at Cape D'Aguilar Marine Reserve, near Shek O, but the skeleton is actually from a Bryde's whale that stranded itself in Victoria Harbour in 1955.

Hoi Wai made an appearance in a movie called Moon Warriors.

Hyak II

Hyak II, more commonly known as Hyak, was about a year old when he was captured in Pender Harbour, British Columbia, Canada on April 24, 1968. He was captured with six other pod members, including Corky II and Natsidalia, who was thought to be his mother. He was probably from the A5 Pod. The captured whales were kept at Pender Harbour for some weeks before being transferred, and Natsidalia did not survive. Hyak was transferred to the Vancouver Aquarium, where he was kept with Skana, an orca captured the previous year. After Skana died in 1980, the aquarium purchased four new orcas captured in Iceland, and two of them—Finna and Bjossa—were transferred to the Vancouver Aquarium. Hyak and Bjossa produced a calf in 1987, but it only survived a short time. He sired another calf on Bjossa—K'yosha, but he did not live to see the calf's birth, as he died of pneumonia in February 1991. K'yosha only lived a few months beyond her father's death.

Junior

Junior was captured in Icelandic waters in November 1984. After a short stay at the Saedrysafnid Aquarium, he arrived at Marineland Ontario in Canada on November 15, 1986. He did not adjust well to his new home, was hard to train, and did not get along well with his fellow orca tank-mates. Junior was eventually moved to a small tank in Marineland's warehouse with no natural sunlight or air and noisy overhead fans. Occasionally he shared his small tank with several dolphins. Marineland tried to keep Junior's conditions a secret, but members of the public released photos and films. Junior died in 1994.

K1/Taku

K1 was also named Taku. He was captured in August 1973 in Pedder Bay, British Columbia. While several other orcas that were caught with him were sold to other marine parks, K1 was too big to be sold. He was released on October 27, 1973, with a radio tag attached to his dorsal fin. Two nicks were cut by Dr Michael Bigg into his dorsal fin to make it easier to identify and find him. He was given the adoption name of Taku. K1 reunited with his pod and was seen many times. K1 disappeared in 1997 and was presumed to have died at the age of 41, as his year of birth was believed to be 1955. K1 was a full blooded Southern Resident orca. He was 23 feet (7.0 m) long.

Kalina

Kalina (September 26, 1985 – October 4, 2010) was the first captive-born orca calf to survive more than a few days. Kalina's mother is an Icelandic female named Katina, and her father, Winston (also known as Ramu III) was a Pacific Southern Resident, making Kalina an Atlantic/Pacific hybrid – a unique situation that would not have occurred in the wild. Kalina measured 17 feet 9 inches (5.41 m) and weighed approximately 6,300 pounds (2,900 kg).

Kalina first appeared in shows at SeaWorld Orlando in 1986, billed as "Baby Shamu", performing with her mother. On February 12, 1990, Kalina was transferred to SeaWorld Ohio. She was moved again in October of that year to SeaWorld San Diego, and again on May 30, 1991, to SeaWorld San Antonio. In October 1994, Kalina was moved back to SeaWorld Orlando, where she lived with eight other killer whales, including her mother and a half sister.

Kalina gave birth to her first calf, a male named Keet, on February 2, 1993, at SeaWorld Texas. Kalina was only seven and a half years old at the time of Keet's birth – an extremely young age for an orca to become a mother. Kalina became pregnant again shortly after Keet's birth, and was moved back to SeaWorld Orlando in October 1994, where she gave birth to her second calf, another male, Keto on June 17, 1995. She gave birth to another male, Tuar, on June 22, 1999. Kalina bore her fourth calf and first daughter, on February 9, 2004, named Skyla. Skyla is now at Loro Parque along with Keto. Kalina was a gentle whale, learned quickly, and was used a lot in shows. She was used as a "starter whale" for new trainers. On Monday October 4, 2010, less than four months after Taima's death, Kalina died of preacute bacteremia sepsis at the age of 25. She has since become a great-grandmother with the birth of Amaya in December 2014.

Kandu V

Kandu V was a dominant female Icelandic orca, caught in 1977 and kept at SeaWorld San Diego in California. On August 21, 1989, she attempted to rake a 24-year-old newcomer orca, Corky II, during a live show. She struck Corky behind her dorsal fin, the resulting impact fracturing Kandu's upper jaw and severing major arteries. The crowd was quickly ushered out, and after a 45-minute hemorrhage, Kandu V died. Her daughter, Orkid, was 11 months old at the time of the accident.

Kandu VII

Kandu VII was a male orca housed at Marineland of Canada in the 1980s. He was caught in Iceland. Kandu VII fathered 11 orca calves there: six with Nootka V and five with Kiska. None of Kandu's calves survived past age six.

Kanduke

Kanduke (can-duke) was captured from T pod in British Columbia, Canada, in August 1975. When captured, he was about 14 ft long (4.3 m) and weighed about 2,600 pounds (1,200 kg), which made him about 4–5 years old. His mother is thought to be T7. He was sent to Sealand of the Pacific, Victoria, and then sold to Marineland, Canada. In January 1987, he was sold and moved to SeaWorld Orlando.

While at Marineland of Canada, he did 'water work' with his trainers, but once at SeaWorld he was described as a "moody and unpredictable" whale and the 'water work' was stopped. At SeaWorld Orlando, Kanduke often fought with a younger Icelandic male named Kotar. The aggression became increasingly serious. After an incident in which Kotar bit Kanduke's penis and caused an infection and show cancellations, the exhibitors decided to move the smaller whale to the newly opened SeaWorld San Antonio. On September 20, 1990, Kanduke died of St. Louis encephalitis, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. The cause of his death was later determined using information from his necropsy report provided by the Freedom of Information Act. This disease is non-existent in wild orcas because they don't spend enough time on the surface for mosquitoes to bite them. However, in captivity, the behavior of "logging" (i.e. just floating at the surface) puts orcas at risk for mosquito-borne illnesses. Kanduke has since become a grandfather with the births of Sumar, Tekoa, and Malia.

Kasatka

Main article: Kasatka

Kasatka was a 41-year-old female orca who lived at SeaWorld San Diego and the mother of Takara, Nakai, Kalia and Makani. She was the park's dominant orca and she could be seen putting the other whales in their places including her own offspring. She was captured off the coast of Iceland on October 26, 1978, about the age of two. Her name probably comes from the Russian word Kasatka (Russian: Кaсатка), a generic name for orcas. She was 17.7 feet (5.4 m) long and weighs around 5,950 pounds (2,700 kg). Kasatka became a grandmother for the first time when her daughter Takara gave birth to her first calf, a female born May 3, 2002, named Kohana. Takara gave birth a second time, on November 23, 2005, to a male named Trua in SeaWorld Orlando. Takara gave birth to her third calf, a female born January 7, 2010, named Sakari. Kasatka became a great-grandmother on October 13, 2010, when Kohana gave birth to her first calf Adán. Kasatka gave birth to her fourth calf and second son on February 14, 2013, at 6:33 am after a one-hour labor. The calf was later named Makani.

Kasatka had shown aggression to humans. In 1993 Kasatka tried to bite a trainer during a show, and again in 1999. On November 30, 2006, Kasatka grabbed a trainer and dragged him underwater during their show. The trainer escaped and was later in good condition despite being underwater for a "brief" amount of time. Since this incident, Kasatka had been barred from performing waterworks with trainers and was never reintroduced to them.

Kasatka was euthanized August 15, 2017, after battling a chronic pulmonary infection for many years. Reason for euthanization was stated as chronic lung disease. She was euthanized after her health turned for the worst a few days leading up to August 15.

Katy

The 9-foot (2.7 m) calf was one of 15 Southern Resident Killer Whales, probably all from K Pod, who were involved in the Yukon Harbor orca capture operation. This first ever multi-orca capture, planned by Ted Griffin and his Seattle Public Aquarium party, began on February 15, 1967. The orcas were encircled by a modified, extra long purse seine net in shallow water in Yukon Harbor, on the west side of Puget Sound. Corraling and transferring selected whales to the aquarium at Pier 56, Seattle, proved to be a long and difficult process, however. Three died, two escaped, five were eventually secured by the aquarium, and five were released in the end, after 17 days inside a net.

On March 2, the small calf to be named Katy was shipped across Puget Sound to Pier 56. In her first published photograph, she shares a tank at the Seattle Public Aquarium with her as yet unnamed podmates Kandu, Kilroy and Ramu.

Griffin did not plan to keep all the orcas, and only Katy and Kandu remained in Seattle, where "schoolchildren crowded around the pool to get a look at the 'baby' killer whales." The aquarium's regular advertising featured the baby orcas, photographed with trainer Jerry Watmore, with hourly feedings as the leading attraction.

While at the Vancouver Boat Show with Katy's podmate known as Walter the Whale, Griffin organized "the first whale-to-whale telephone call in history." Katy and Kandu were at the other end of the line in Seattle, as pictured in the Seattle Times, but for the first 45 minutes, Walter only got a response from "two seals in a nearby tank," until finally the whales began talking "like crazy."

After two months, "the popular calf...died after ingesting a stick tossed into the pool by a careless visitor." In the evening of May 15, a veterinarian removed the piece of wood, but Katy's esophagus wall was torn and she died early the next morning. She was the second orca to die at Pier 56, preceded in 1966 by Namu.

Kayla

Sequence of trainer demonstrating a nose stand on top of Kayla during the Believe show at SeaWorld, Orlando, Florida

Kayla (November 26, 1988 – January 28, 2019) was a female who lived at SeaWorld San Antonio and SeaWorld Orlando. Her parents were Kenau and Orky II, both deceased. Kayla was about 20-foot (6.1 m) long and weighed about 6,200 pounds (2,800 kg). Kayla lived with her mother for the first two and a half years of her life. Kenau was moved to SeaWorld Orlando in January 1991, and Kayla was moved to SeaWorld Ohio in April 1991. Kayla lived there for the next eight years with another young female, named Katerina, who was three weeks older than she was. After Katerina was moved out, an older female named Winnie was moved in.

In November 1999, Kayla and Winnie were both transferred to SeaWorld San Antonio. Kayla and Winnie joined a female named Haida II and her son Kyuquot. A young male named Keto arrived in March 2001. Haida II died on August 1 of that year, making Winnie the new dominant female. Winnie died on April 11, 2002. Kayla became the new dominant orca in the stadium and was until her relocation to Orlando in 2006. After the death of Winnie, only three whales were left in the park: Kayla, Kyuquot, and Keto. A young female by the name of Unna was moved to the park in December 2002 to settle down Kyuquot and Keto, because the two maturing males were constantly fighting over Kayla. In November 2006, Kayla was transferred to SeaWorld Orlando leaving behind a mate Keet, and their daughter Halyn was raised by Unna immediately after Kayla's transfer. Once Kayla arrived, she immediately gave up her dominant role to Katina, who has been the dominant female there since 1988. In spring 2007, Kayla miscarried a male calf, likely the son of Keet.

Kayla gave birth to her first calf on October 9, 2005, a female named Halyn. Halyn was moved to a special animal care facility to be hand raised. Halyn lived in Animal Care in a different part of the park, and in May joined her family at Shamu Stadium. Halyn's father is Keet. On June 15, 2008, Halyn died unexpectedly.

On January 28, 2019, SeaWorld announced that Kayla had unexpectedly died after a two-day battle with an unknown illness. Veterinarians tried their best to treat Kayla, but she succumbed to her illness on the morning of January 28. She was 30 years old. The final cause of death has been announced and Kayla's "unknown illness" was lung disease.

Kayla appears to "hover" over the water after launching a trainer into the air. The new "Believe" stage is seen in the background. (June 2007)

Keiko

Main article: Keiko (orca)

Keiko is weighed as he is loaded into his specially made transport tank at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, on September 9, 1998.

Keiko (1977 – December 12, 2003) was an orca who starred in the first of three Free Willy movies. Keiko died on December 12, 2003, after beaching himself during the night; pneumonia was later determined as the probable cause of death. Keiko was captured near Iceland in 1979 and sold to the Icelandic aquarium in Hafnarfjörður. Three years later, he was sold to Marineland of Canada, where he first started performing for the public and developed skin lesions indicative of poor health. He was then sold to Reino Aventura (now named Six Flags Mexico), an amusement park in Mexico City, in 1985. He was the star of the movie Free Willy in 1993.

The publicity from his role in Free Willy led to an effort by Warner Brothers Studio to find him a better home. Donations from the studio and Craig McCaw led to the establishment of the Free Willy Keiko Foundation in February 1995. With donations from the foundation and millions of school children, the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon, spent over US$7 million to construct facilities to return him to health with the hope of returning him to the wild. He was airlifted by UPS to his new home on January 7, 1996, with a length of 24 feet (7.3 m) and weighing 3,500 kilograms (7,700 lb). During his years in Oregon, he gained over a ton in weight.

On September 9, 1998, he was flown to Klettsvik Bay in Vestmannaeyjar in Iceland, and gradually reintroduced to the wild, returning to the open sea in July 2002. Keiko died on December 12, 2003, at the age of 27. Following requests from fans of the orca and Free Willy, the Oregon Coast Aquarium held a memorial service for him on February 20, 2004. 700 people attended the service, at which the aquarium's veterinary chaplain said, "Keiko was not one of our kind, but nonetheless was still one of us." There is a memorial site for Keiko set up by the locals in Halsa, Norway, where the orca spent the last year of his life.

Kenau

Kenau died in 1991 while pregnant with her third calf, whose father was Kotar. The calf fetus was male. Kenau was Kayla's mother.

Kim (Oum)

Kim was captured in November 1976 in Icelandic waters. He was sickly throughout his captivity. At one point he became blind. Several therapies were tried, including ozone therapy and herbal remedies at the last, but to no avail. He died in Marineland of Antibes on July 24, 1982. A necropsy revealed a lung abscess.

Kim II

Kim II was a male orca who was captured at the age of 2 in October 1982 with Freya, Haida II and Nootka IV in Iceland. He was then sold to Marineland Antibes with Freya for reproduction. He sired many calves : Shouka, Inouk, Wikie and Valentin. Kim II was 6,3m long and weighted 5 tons. He was very close to his daughter Shouka but she was sent to Six Flags, later to SeaWorld San Diego. Kim II died on November 23, 2005, of pneumonia.

Kiska

Kiska (died March 9, 2023) was housed at Marineland of Canada. She was nicknamed the World's Loneliest Orca because she spent the last 12 years of her life completely alone. Kiska was the last captive orca to be held in Canada as a result of the Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act.

Kohana

Kohana was a female born at SeaWorld San Diego on May 3, 2002. She was the second orca to be conceived through artificial insemination. Her parents were Takara and Tilikum. On April 25, 2004, Kohana and her mother were moved to SeaWorld Orlando. On February 13, 2006, Kohana was moved to Loro Parque in Spain with three other orcas: Tekoa, Keto, and Skyla. She often floated at the acrylic glass to interact with visitors. She was intelligent and eager, and learned quickly.

On October 13, 2010, Kohana gave birth to her first calf (a male) named Adán, in the parks "Orca Ocean" exhibit, after a four-hour labor. The calf weighed around 150 kilograms (330 lb), and was two meters long (6.5 ft). Kohana's calf was the first orca born in Loro Parque. On August 3, 2012, Kohana gave birth to her second calf (a female) named Victoria (or Vicky). Like her older brother, Victoria was rejected by Kohana. On June 16, 2013, Victoria suddenly died at the age of 10 months. Vicky's cause of death was later revealed to be intestinal problems. Kohana died suddenly on September 14, 2022, due to cardiac malformation, a defect that forms while the calf is in the womb. After her death, Loro Parque has 3 males, Keto, Tekoa, and Adán, and 1 female, Morgan.

Kyara

Kyara was a female orca, that was born at SeaWorld San Antonio on April 19, 2017. Her mother was Takara and her father Kyuquot, with Kyara's name being a combination of her parents names. Due to SeaWorld ending its orca breeding program, Kyara was the last orca to be born in its parks. On July 22 it was announced that she was showing signs of pneumonia. Because of this, she had been moved to SeaWorld's animal care hospital for treatment. She died on July 24, 2017.

Lolita

Main article: Lolita (orca)

Tokitae (Toh-kih-tie), stage named Lolita (Loh-lee-tuh), was an orca at the Miami Seaquarium. Lolita was one of the two oldest orcas in captivity at the time of her death. She was a member of the southern resident orcas' L Pod. Researchers believed she was possibly the only living offspring of matriarch L25 "Ocean Sun". When she was an estimated three to six years old, Lolita was captured on August 8, 1970, at Penn Cove, Puget Sound, off the coast of Washington. The Penn Cove capture became controversial due to the large number of wild orcas that were taken (seven) and the number of deaths that resulted: four juveniles died, as well as one adult female who drowned when she became tangled in a net while attempting to reach her calf.

Когда она впервые прибыла в Майами Сивариум, Лолита была помещена в «китовую миску». У Майами Сивария была другая орка, Хьюго, которая жила в другом аквариуме, называемой «Чаша знаменитостей», в которой сейчас находится ламантин. Два орки высказывались друг с другом, а Хьюго был позже перенесен в чашу кита с Лолитой. Сначала они были агрессивны друг с другом, но затем стали более совместимыми друг с другом и более агрессивными по отношению к своим тренерам. Лолита и Хьюго несколько раз спарились, и сообщалось, что Лолита была беременна от этого. Тем не менее, она никогда не доставляла живого потомства. Лолита не видела еще одной орки с тех пор, как Хьюго умерла в 1980 году. Она озвучивает в плену, в уникальных звонках, используемых только ее капсулой. Когда она играла записи своих диких членов семьи, она ответила. Она была большой оркой, длиной 20 футов (6,1 м) и весом 7800 фунтов (3500 кг). Это сделало ее одной из крупнейших женских орков в плену. Лолита жила на стадионе китов и дельфинов в Майами-Сивариуме, где она ежедневно проводила один-два шоу и поделилась своим танком с четырьмя тихоокеанскими белыми дельфинами. Несмотря на ее размер, ее аквариум был самой маленькой средой обитания Orca в Соединенных Штатах, имел ширину 35 футов и длиной 80 футов. Лолита является предметом документального фильма Lolita: Slave to Entertainment выпущен в 2008 году. Различные группы призвали выпустить Лолиту в дикую природу.

Китовые активисты отправились в суд на правительство США в федеральном суде в Сиэтле, утверждая, что Лолита, захваченная из вод Пьюджет -Саунд в 1970 году, должен быть предоставлен тот же статус защиты, предоставленную другим южным жителям в 2005 году, в качестве членов исчезающего вида.

В феврале 2015 года Национальное управление океанического и атмосферного администрации (NOAA) включало Лолиту в под угрозой исчезновения южного резидента, в то же время отмечая, что включение не повлияет на ее проживание в Miami Seaquarium.

В марте 2023 года Miami Seaquarium объявил, что Лолита будет возвращена в ее натальные воды, Но она заболела и умерла 18 августа 2023 года в Майами до того, как запланированный перевод может произойти. Ее смерть была оплачена нацией Ламми , чьи члены ожидали возвращения орки, которую они назвали Ск'алихэль-Тенаут .

Moby Doll

Основная статья: Moby Doll

Moby Doll был вторым пленным оркой, когда -либо демонстрируемым публичным аквариумом, и в отличие от Ванды, первой, Он выжил в неволе в течение почти трех месяцев по сравнению с менее чем двумя днями. Спустя годы запись его звонков позволила ученому Джону Форду идентифицировать Moby Doll как члена J Pod южных жителей , население Orcas, наиболее поврежденное захватами.

15 -футовой (4,6 млн) юношеская мужская орка Был представлен гарпуновой коллекционерами Ванкуверского аквариума в 1964 году вблизи Ист -Пойнт, острова Сатурна в Британской Колумбии . Размер ORCA указал, что ему, скорее всего, 5 лет. Не умирая, как было запланировано, Орка привел в Ванкувер, используя линию гарпуна, как повод. Там ему дали импровизированное жилье в Burrard Dry Dock . На следующий день, 18 июля, док был открыт для широкой публики, чтобы посмотреть роман в плен. Впоследствии публика была держалась подальше, однако, А Моби Долл была перемещена в мореопен на пляже Иерико . Его здоровье во время его плена никогда не было очень хорошим, и он умер 9 октября.

Этот молодой J Pod Orca заплатил высокую цену, хотя этот первый тесный контакт с инициировал ORCA, как для широкой общественности, так и для ученых, что является большим изменением в их понимании ранее ненавистных видов. Особые научные последствия были оказаны необычным мозгом Moby Doll и сложное использование звука.

Накай

1 сентября 2001 года Накай родился в Касатке , а Тиликум был отцом. В отличие от большинства орков, он родился в первую очередь. Он был первым оркой, задумавшимся с помощью искусственного осеменения с успешным рождением. По состоянию на август 2017 года он весил 7000 фунтов (3200 кг) и длился 19 футов (5,8 м). Он жил в SeaWorld San Diego . Будучи зрелым подростком с девятью другими китами, в том числе его сводным братом Макани , его сводной сестрой Калией и его сводным братом Икайкой , Он жил там всю свою жизнь. В конце сентября 2012 года Накай получил серьезную травму подбородка. SeaWorld заявил, что травма произошла во время «контакта с окружающей средой бассейна». Накай был одним из немногих мужчин в неволе старше 10 лет, который не имел обрушившегося спинного плавника, другие мужчины, такие как Икака и Труа, моложе, имеют более короткие плавники и полностью рухнули дорсальные плавники. Спинной плавник Накая был высотой почти 5 футов (1,5 м) и слегка наклонялся влево. Правая сторона его хвостовой случайности была изогнута, но левая сторона не была изогнута. Накай умер 4 августа 2022 года после инфекции.

Наш

Основная статья: Namu (orca)

Наму был лишь третьим оркой, захваченным и выставленным на аквариумной выставке, и был предметом фильма , который изменил отношение некоторых людей к Orcas. В июне 1965 года Уильям Лечкобит обнаружил 22-футовую (6,7 млн) мужскую орку в своей плавающей лососевой сети, которая дрейфовала недалеко от берега недалеко от Наму, Британская Колумбия . ORCA была продана за 8000 долларов Теду Гриффину , владельцу общественного аквариума в Сиэтле . Гриффин плавал и выступил с Наму на выставке Сиэтла, а Наму выжил один год в плену, прежде чем умирать в ручке 9 июля 1966 года.

Неочи

Neocia родилась в октябре 1992 года, женщина -теленка Nootka 5 и Kandu 7 . Также известная как «Детский октябрь», она была отделена со своей матерью в возрасте 3 лет и держала в меньшем танке в Мариноленд Канада с тремя другими молодыми орками. Она часто перемещалась из -за ее агрессивного поведения по отношению к другим орка в попытке доминировать в них. Неоция была пропитана ее собственным отцом Канду; Тем не менее, эта беременность вызывает ущерб. Неция умерла в возрасте 12 лет после потери аппетита и «не действует нормально».

Привилегия

Nepo был захвачен несколькими другими орками, включая Корки 11 декабря 1969 года. Он и его и спасательный помощник были проданы месту под названием Marine World/Africa USA в Калифорнии. Две Орки присоединились к другой женщине Кину, которая была в парке с 1968 года. Кину хотела, чтобы Нейпо была для себя, и она напала на Яку всякий раз, когда другая женщина была с Непо. Непо, который был очень близок к Яке, защитил ее от атак Кину. Агрессивное поведение продолжалось, и Киану был переведен в парк в Японии. Nepo и Yaka снялись в фильме ужасов 1977 года Orca . Непо умер от пневмонии 10 июля 1980 года. Яка оставался рядом с ним, сделав последнее вдохи. Когда тренеры прибыли, чтобы убрать тело Непо, Яка отказалась оставить его, и для разделения китов потребовалось некоторое время. Непо было около 15 лет.

Ньяр

Ньяр родилась в SeaWorld Orlando Florida в канун Нового года (31 декабря) 1993 года. Она родилась у родителей Гудрун и Тиликум. Ньяр страдал от многих проблем со здоровьем. Иногда тренерам приходилось отделить Гудруна и Ньяра, потому что мать пыталась утопить свою дочь. У них были несколько моментов связи вместе. Ньяр не смогла выступить на шоу, так как она очень медленно училась. Иногда ее даже сталкивались с отцом Тиликумом. Он был очень нежным с ней. Ньяр умерла 1 апреля 1996 года. Ей было 2 года 4 месяца и 1 день. Причиной смерти была сбой иммунной системы. Название «Ньяр» (написано Nýár на исландском языке) означает «Новый год».

Заказ

Орки II был захвачен в апреле 1968 года у Пендер -Харбор, хорошо помнят как отец Оркида и Кайлы. Он провел много своих лет в пленке в Маринеленде Тихого океана. Корки II сопровождал его, и они считали двоюродными братьями, так как они оба были из одного капсула. Он отменил все семь неудачных телят Корки II. Орки был переведен в SeaWorld San Diego California вместе с Corky II в 1986 году. Там он вскоре был поставлен на дно лестницы доминирующих. Орки был вовлечен в один инцидент с тренером в 1987 году, где он случайно нарушил ошибку и приземлился на тренера (Джон Силлик), в то время как тренер ездил на Корки II в качестве трюка.

Находясь на службе в морском мире, Орки спарился с двумя их женщинами, Канду В. и Кенау. Канду носила своего первого успешного теленка, Оркид, за три дня до его смерти 26 сентября 1988 года. Она была названа в его памяти: ребенок Орки. Примерно через два месяца Кенау также родила ее теленка, еще одну женщину, которую позже назвали Кайла. Смерть Орки была вызвана острой пневмонией и хроническим истощением, что означало, что он потерял много веса, прежде чем он умер. Его спинной плавник полностью провалился направо, а не налево. Его грудки были огромными, и его трюки были полностью свернуты. Его огромный размер можно увидеть в его дочери Оркид, которая выросла, чтобы быть довольно большой женщиной. Она единственная живая (пленная) относительная. Когда -то Орки на самом деле назывался «Снукали». В длину почти 22 футов и 11 000 фунтов, он был одним из крупнейших китов, когда -либо удерживаемых в любом аквариуме.

Самоа

Основная статья: Самоа (orca)

Самоа была женщиной, захваченной в Исландии в 1983 году. Сообщалось, что Самоа умер из -за осложнений родов. Тем не менее, ее вскрытие показало, что у нее была редкая грибковая инфекция Saksenaea Vasiformis, которая, вероятно, вызвала мертворождение и ее смерть. 14 марта 1992 года, находясь в SeaWorld Texas , Самоа перешел на преждевременный труд и умерла, родив женщину -теленка через несколько часов. Теленок был мертворожденным. Это была первая зарегистрированная смерть орки SeaWorld во время родов. Возраст Самоа на момент ее смерти оценивался в 12–14.

Сирия

Основная статья: Сирийский

Захваченный Тедом Гриффином в Пьюджет -Саунд в 1965 году, Шаму предназначался для того, чтобы стать компаньоном для Orca Namu в Аквариуме Гриффина в Сиэтле. Шаму, однако, был быстро арендован и в конечном итоге продан SeaWorld San Diego . Она выступила в нескольких шоу SeaWorld и в конечном итоге умерла 23 августа 1971 года. Позже было обнаружено, что Шаму была беременна во время ее смерти. Название Шаму с тех пор использовалось для многих различных ORCA в SeaWorld Shows.

Сканер

Первоначально назвал Уолтер кит , Эта орка была взята в плен во время операции по захвату орки Yukon Harbour , которая была первым запланированным, преднамеренным захватом большой группы Orcas (Killer Whales). 15 Орки -резиденты Южного жителя были пойманы в ловушку Теда Гриффина и его общественного аквариума в Сиэтле 15 февраля 1967 года в гавани Юкон на западной стороне Пьюджет -Саунд . Три орки погибли во время захвата, а пять были переведены в аквариум, включая Уолтер, Раму I и Канду I. Остальные были освобождены. Считалось, что Уолтеру на момент ее захвата было шесть лет. Она была продана и переведена в Ванкуверский аквариум 20 марта 1967 года. Там она была переименована в Скана. Она была сама в Ванкувере до конца 1968 года, когда недавно захваченный Hyak II прибыл . Она умерла 5 октября 1980 года в возрасте около 19 лет от микотической инфекции.

Всплеск

Splash родился в 1989 году в Маринеленде в Канаде, переведен в SeaWorld San Diego в возрасте 3 лет и умер там в 2005 году. Он был любимым животным. «Он был тем, кто связал лучшее с тренерами», - сказал ветеринар Рейдарсон. Splash был подвержен судорогам, и в какой -то момент пришлось удалить зубы в его нижней челюсти из -за насильственной травмы приступов. Splash был одним из самых болезненных животных парка. «Мы возвращали его из-за опасных для жизни болезней»,-вспоминает Рейдарсон. В 1994 году Splash врезался в лицо в стену своего аквариума, разорвая кусочек кожи размером с книги вдоль челюсти, который должен был быть отремонтирован хирургическим путем. Splash умер от инфекции. Бывший тренер SeaWorld Джон Харгроув , который тесно сотрудничал со Splash, предположил, что Splash умер в этом молодом отчасти из -за потребления большого количества песка, предположительно из -за скуки плена.

Жуткий

Spooky был вторым теленком, родившимся от родителей Корки II и Orky II в Маринеленде Тихоокеанского океана на Хэллоуин 1978 года (31 октября). В отличие от большинства орков, он родился в первую очередь. Он заработал свое имя только для праздника. Сначала Spooky был в хорошем здоровье, но это не дошло. Из -за круглого танка, в которых хранились орки, у Корки были проблемы с кормлением сына. Тренеры заняли владение и питались бутылками, надеясь помочь ему выжить. Спуки умер 11 дней спустя, 10 ноября 1978 года от пневмонии и колита. Порода Spooky была на 100% северной резидентной Orca.

Лето

Сумар (14 мая 1998 г. - 7 сентября 2010 г.) был мужской оркой, родившейся в SeaWorld Orlando во Флориде . Его мать была Таймой , и он был ее первым теленком. Всего через шесть месяцев после рождения произошел инцидент, когда во время шоу его мать напала на него, подталкивая его к стеклу, пытаясь заставить его упасть. Толпа была эвакуирована, и шоу отменено. Тренеры попытались переместить Тайму в другой танк и , наконец, отделили ее от сына. С тех пор они оба всегда были разделены, и Калина и Катина стали его суррогатными матерями, пока его не перевели в SeaWorld San Diego в Калифорнии 8 марта 1999 года. После этого он провел несколько месяцев в теперь закрытом Ohio SeaWorld . переведен обратно в парк Сан -Диего.

Он считался очень нежным с другими орками и тренеры . Во время своей смерти он был одним из трех мужчин в парке и был замечен как возможный размножение мужчины в будущем; Накай, младший мужчина, все еще слишком молод, чтобы размножаться, и у пожилых мужчин, по -видимому, есть низкое количество сперматозоидов. Сумар приближался к полному размеру для типичной бычьей орки, когда он умер: его спинный плавник все больше и больше наклонялся влево, а его случайность начинала скручиваться. Он был около 4,6 м (17 футов) длиной и весил около 5300 фунтов (2400 кг). Его часто использовали для шоу в парке. Тема эпизода в июне 2010 года «Кекс -войны» стал Двенадцатый день рождения Сумара.

Сумар умер в SeaWorld в Сан -Диего, штат Калифорния , во вторник, 7 сентября 2010 года, в возрасте 12 лет. Тренеры заметили, что кит не чувствует себя хорошо в понедельник, 6 сентября 2010 года, в результате чего ветеринары были уведомлены, образцы крови кровью нарисованные, и вводится антибиотики. Несмотря на меры, принятые ветеринарской командой Сумара, Сумар становился все более больным во вторник. Он умер незадолго до 1:45 вечера (Тихоокеанское время). Смерть Сумара побудила к отмене концертов Orca парка на день. Его смерть была определена как результат извращенного кишечного тракта (кишечный Volvulus). Он должен был стать следующим пленным размножением из бычьей orca после его отца Тиликума .

Точка

Тайма (произносится в Ty-ee-ma) (11 июля 1989 г.-6 июня 2010 г.) была временной/исландской гибридной женской оркой, которая жила в SeaWorld Orlando во Флориде . Ее имя якобы происходит от коренного американца или исландского языка и означает «крушение грома». Она родилась в первую очередь около 16:45 EST во время грозы.

Тайма родилась у матери Гудруна и отца Кандуке . Кандуке был членом тихоокеанского переходного сообщества Orca, что означало, что у Таймы была преходящая кровь в ней. В 1990 году Кандуке умер в возрасте 20 лет от энцефалита Сент -Луиса; Гудрун родил своему сводке Таймы Ньяр в 1993 году. Ньяр страдал от частых заболеваний, и сообщалось, что Гудрун пытался утопить ее во время нескольких шоу. Тренеры считают, что это смутило Тайму, когда она стала свидетелем этого и думала, что это как поднять теленка. Позже сообщалось, что она исполнила это на своих телятах, Сумаре, Текоа и Малией. Гудрун умер в 1996 году от осложнений мертворождения , а Ньяр умер от болезни несколько месяцев спустя в апреле.

14 мая 1998 года Тайма родила мужского теленка по имени Сумар. Они были разделены, когда ему было около восьми месяцев из -за агрессии между ними. Однажды во время выступления Тайма начала кусать Сумара и выбрасывая его из бассейна на платформу тренера . Затем она выскользнула сама и начала кусать его. Шоу было остановлено, и Тайма был вытянут в другой бассейн. Несколько месяцев спустя Суман был переведен в SeaWorld San Diego в Калифорнии .

8 ноября 2000 года, в 15:47, Тайма родила мужчину по имени Текоа. Он начал кормить в течение ночи и, по оценкам, длиной 7 футов (2,2 м) и весом 350 фунтов (160 кг). Во время рождения Калина помогала Тайме и помогла теленку на поверхность на его первом дыхании. Текоа был отправлен в SeaWorld San Antonio в 2004 году, а затем был отправлен в Лоро Парк в Тенерифе в феврале 2006 года, где он остается сегодня. После нападения Текоа Тайма была отделена от всех остальных китов, кроме Тиликума, пока она не родила свою первую дочь Малию в 2007 году, 12 марта. «При рождении Малия (Гавайский язык для« спокойного и мирного ») измеряла около 6 футов и взвешивала Примерно в 350 фунтов. SeaWorld объявил 18 мая 2010 года, что Тайма снова была беременна.

Тайма умер от осложнений до мертворожденного мужского теленка 6 июня 2010 года. Предварительные признаки свидетельствуют о том, что ее смерть была вызвана предварительной плацентой , условием, в котором плацента доставляется перед теленком.

Мой

Таку (9 сентября 1993 г. - 17 октября 2007 г.) был мужской оркой, который родился в SeaWorld Orlando во Флориде . После рождения Таку провел большую часть своего времени со своей матерью Катиной или Ньяром, его младшей сводкой. Три года спустя Катина снова родила у женщины, Унна . 25 августа 2002 года Катина родила своего пятого теленка: мужчину, Икайка . Позже Унна была перенесена в SeaWorld San Antonio в декабре 2002 года. После этого Икака и Таку связались с точкой, где Икейка плавал в положении матери с Таку. 18 ноября 2006 года Таку был перенесен в SeaWorld San Antonio , тогда как Икайка была перенесена в Маринеленд Канады в Онтарио.

Такара вскоре забеременела. 23 ноября 2005 года, около 21:50 EST (16:50), Такара занялась трудом со своим вторым теленком. Ее дочь Кохана была рядом с ней. Тридцать две минуты спустя, около 22:22 EST (5:22 вечера), Такара родила мужчин-теленка (сына/первого теленка Таку), которого позже должны были быть названы Труа . Таку в 2006 году выступил с еще одним теленком со своей матерью Катиной - Налани, которая также была его сестрой и первым выжившим инбредным теленком.

Таку неожиданно умер 17 октября 2007 года в возрасте 14 лет и был необычайно большим для своего возраста, весом более 7000 фунтов (3200 кг) и длиной 22 футов (6,7 м). Тренеры были уведомлены о том, что Таку действовал по -другому в среду перед его смертью. В отчете о инвентаре морских млекопитающих NMFS приведены причину смерти как «тяжелую многофокальную интерстициальную пневмонию»; Тем не менее, существуют также рецензируемые источники, которые сообщают, основываясь на результатах вскрытия, причина смерти, когда вирус Западного Нила сократился через укус комаров.

Тиликум в SeaWorld Orlando (2009)

Тиликум (иногда с ошибкой с ошибкой ) была быка, вовлеченная в три человеческих смерти, когда он был в плену, один в Чиланде из Тихого океана и два в SeaWorld Orlando . Он был захвачен недалеко от Исландии в ноябре 1983 года в возрасте около двух лет. Он был самой большой оркой в ​​плену, а также самым успешным сиром в плену, С 21 потомством, 7 из которых все еще живы.

За несколько месяцев до рождения Кювота Тиликум убил своего тренера Келти Бирн . SeaWorld запросил аварийный перевод тиликума на их объект. Тиликум был перенесен в SeaWorld Orlando, штат Флорида, 9 января 1992 года. Sealand Pacific вскоре закрылся после этого.

После его прибытия в SeaWorld Тиликум познакомился со многими телятами с множеством разных женщин. Его первый теленок, родившийся в Орландо, был в Катине. Катина родила Таку 9 сентября 1993 года.

Vigga

Вигге (маленькая возлюбленная) родилась в 1977 году недалеко от Исландии и привезен в парк Marine World Africa USA, а затем расположен в Редвуд -Сити Калифорния, в 1980 году. Вигга поделилась своим танком в парке с другой женской оркой Яка, которая потеряла свой партнер Nepo за несколько месяцев до того, как Vigga был представлен в парке. Яка и Вигга жили вместе в морском мире, пока Яка не умерла в 1997 году в возрасте 32 лет. Она сделала ход с Якой в ​​новые кварталы парка в Валлехо, штат Калифорния, в 1986 году.

Уолтер

Основная статья: Уолтер кит

Этот раздел о самом раннем плену этой орки. За ее жизнь при переименовании, см. § Скана .

1967 года На выставке лодок в Ванкувере на территории PNE ( Pacific National выставка ) «Звезда родилась от имени Уолтера, и аттракция помогла шоу ... до записи посещаемости более 100 000».

Производитель лодочной шоу Боб О'Лоулин был годами «надеялся показать живого кита -убийцу на одном из своих видов спортивных шоу», но он потерпел неудачу в нескольких попытках поймать один в Сиэтле . Его надежды были окончательно выполнены после операции по захвату гавани Юкон , когда общественного аквариума Сиэтла владелец Тед Гриффин оказался в ловушке 15 южных жителей -убийц , вероятно, все из K Pod, в гавани Юкон в Пьюджет -Саунд 15 февраля 1967 года. Гриффин надеялся доставить арендованную Orca O'Loughlin для лодки, трейлера и спортивного шоу в Портленде, штат Орегон , которая открылась 17 февраля. Корринг избранных китов из 15, проведенных в гавани Юкон, однако, оказался долгим и трудным процессом, и шоу Портленда закрылось, прежде чем Гриффин сможет обеспечить для нее орку, но путешествующее шоу переехало в Ванкувер , Британская Колумбия, и прокат. Соглашение продолжалось.

До того, как он получил кит: «Трое детей О'Лоулина, в возрасте от 6 до 9 лет, [принял] определил имя ... вы бы поверили? Приблизительно 16 футов (4,9 м), Orca, выбранная для выставки лодок в Ванкувере, была самой большой и старшей из пяти, обеспеченных в общественном аквариуме в Сиэтле, и последним, чтобы прибыть, 4 марта. Гриффин лично справился с всей арендой , оставаясь с Уолтером на протяжении всей выставки лодок в Ванкувере, которая проходила с 10 по 19 марта. Сразу за агродомом PNE , палатка была установлена ​​на круговом портативном баке 34 фута (10 м) по сравнению с восемь футов (2,4 метра) глубиной. Следуя постоянным телефонным звонкам от разгневанных граждан, которые «не хотели, чтобы Уолтер стал еще одной мобилькой или Наму », SPCA проверила танк и поднял обеспокоенность по поводу его размера и по отделению орки от других членов, но в основном принял ситуацию.

Гриффин пытался отучить все захваченные орки на мертвой сельдь , и только питался Уолтером дважды в неделю, чтобы держать орку голодными. Тем не менее, южный жительский кит -убийца неохотно ел еду и был питался насосом .

"Каждый час сотни экскурсивников подали в палатку, где Гриффин выступил с краткой презентацией о Orcas, заверяя слушателей, что этот вид гораздо более дружелюбен, чем большинство верили. Посетители могли бы затем приблизиться к бассейну, где храбрый может предложить киту и даже сельдь и даже кит и даже. Потереть его резиновую кожу ".

16 марта Ванкувер ведущий радиоведущий Джек Вебстер транслирует Уолтер В «Первый телефонный звонок в историю». На другом конце линии в общественном аквариуме Сиэтла были два младших товарища - Кэти и Канду.

Ванкуверский аквариум не хотел позволять арендованной звезде покинуть город и купил Уолтера. Помощник куратора Винс Пенфолд надел костюм для подводного плавания и приветствовал орку под водой под водой, снятую на фотографии на солнце в Ванкувере . Кит кормил «100 фунтов (45 килограммов) рыбы, в основном трески и сельди , в четырех ежедневных кормлениях».

Весом около 3000 фунтов (1400 килограммов) и «чуть менее 15 футов (4,6 метра)» длиной, это все еще была незрелая орка, чей дорсальный плавник еще не мог указать пол. В новом аквариуме Уолтера в Ванкуверском аквариуме Пенфолд изменил гендерную проблему, которую он столкнулся с Moby Doll . На этот раз «мужское» имя было дано женскому киту. Название Уолтера не считалось подходящим, и аквариум выбрал для нее имя Скана.

Что

Пленная орка , которая получила имя Ванду, известна тем, что является первой известной оркой, выставленной живым аквариумом, предшествующим Моби Куллу более двух лет. Ванда была зрелым оффшорным экотипом в северной части Тихого океана , как подтверждено гораздо более поздним анализом ДНК.

Орка была замечена только лодочцами недалеко от Ньюпорт -Бич , штат Калифорния, 17 ноября 1961 года, и сообщения о том, как Мариноваянд из Тихого океана . «Чиновники Маринеленда сказали, что 5000-фунтовые (2300 кг), 17-футовая (5,2 м), женщина, возможно, отправилась в Ньюпорт-Харбор в пятницу, потому что это было больно»,-сообщил AP.

На следующий день коллекционеры Marineland во главе с Фрэнком Брокато, наконец, забила ее после того, как она уклонилась от их усилий по захвату в течение девяти часов, за которыми наблюдали тысячи зрителей. На последнем этапе транспортировки кита в танк в Маринеленде она выскользнула из ее стропа и врезалась в стену танка. Толпа вылилась в аквариум 19 -го, чтобы увидеть «монстра глубины», как охарактеризовали ороды.

Брокато вспомнила события утра 20 -го, так: «Но на следующий день она сходила с ума. Она начала плавать на высокой скорости вокруг танка, неоднократно ударяя свое тело. Наконец, она суетировала и умерла».

Ванда была названа «Образцом Ньюпорта» Маринелендом в отчете о вскрытии. Выяснилось, что смерть была вызвана пневмонией и острым гастроэнтеритом, вторичным по отношению к массовому заражению нематод. Среди ее многочисленных долгосрочных состояний здоровья чрезмерная износ зубов не была понята. Только после обнаружения оффшорного типа ORCA десятилетиями спустя это было связано с их хищничеством на Pacific Sleeper Sharks .

Ванда рассказала, что Orcas может быть уникальной, толпой. Ее наследием было преемственность попыток захвата, предпринимаемых Мариновым из Тихого океана, первоначально вне Калифорнии. Затем, в сентябре 1962 года в Вашингтонских водах у западной стороны острова Сан-Хуан , Брокато Лассо встал на южно-жительную жительную жительку, питающуюся южной местностью . Когда она и сопровождающий мужчину стучали на его лодке своими случайными, Брокато начал стрелять из своей винтовки, убивая женщину - первую из многих южных жителей, которые будут убиты в результате захвата. Ее тело было отбуксировано в Беллингхэм , чтобы быть предназначенным для корма для собак.

Маринелэнд из Тихого океана не удавалось показать другую орку до 1967 года, когда они приобрели теленка, который пробудился в рыболовную сеть возле Порт -Харди . Эта северная жительница стала первой орки. Но к этому времени они были наоборот конкурентами, в частности, SeaWorld.

Уинстон

Основная статья: Раму III

Уинстон, первоначально известный как Раму, был запечатлен в захвате Penn Cove в 1970 году в Вашингтоне и жил в Виндзорском сафари -парке и SeaWorld San Diego. Он умер в 1986 году. Он был отцом первоначального ребенка Шаму, Калина.

Яка

Яка (произносится: Ях-Ках) (1966–1997), был тихоокеанским северо-западным оркой. Она умерла 29 октября 1997 года, после 27 лет в плену. Ей было около 31 года, третья самая старая орка в плену в то время. Причиной ее смерти была предположительно пневмония. Она приехала в Marine World Africa USA , расположенная в Редвуд -Сити, штат Калифорния, в декабре 1969 года вместе с мужским NEPO после того, как ее захватили у побережья Британской Колумбии. Nepo и Yaka снялись в фильме ужасов 1977 года Orca . Непо умер в июле 1980 года, оставив Яку в одиночку. В ноябре 1980 года исландская женщина -орка Vigga стала ее партнером. Яка был на 10 лет старше VIGGA. Они сделали этот шаг вместе, когда парк переехал в Вальехо, штат Калифорния, в 1986 году. Vigga умер через 3 года после Яки в августе 2000 года.

Яка был членом капсула A5 , как и Корки .
