Last killer whale born at SeaWorld
- 7 years ago
The last killer whale to be born at SeaWorld was delivered at the company's San Antonio park. Sea World veterinarians said the baby and its 25 year old mother, Takara, are in good shape and are being monitored 24 hours a day. This is Takara's fifth birth, and officials say she will determine when park curators can 'meet' the calf and determine its gender. Takara was already pregnant when SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment announced last year that they were suspending the captive breeding program and phasing out killer whale shows due to growing criticism and falling park revenue.
