Kyuquot











[Name] Kyuquot
[Date of birth] 24.Dec.91
[Currently resides] SeaWorld Texas
[Previously held at] SeaLand of the Pacific
[Parents] Tilikum* and Haida 2*
[Offspring] -

Kyuquot was born at the Canadian park SeaLand of the Pacific. The park closed after the death of student Keltie Byrne. Kyuquot and his mother were sent to SeaWorld Texas, where Kyuquot has lived ever since. Haida* used to be the dominant whale, meaning Ky got special privileges and had an easy life. However the death of his mother effected him and he was depressed for a while. Over the years, Ky has been good friends with Kalina*'s boys - Keet, Keto and Tuar. In 2004, Ky was involved in an incident with trainer Steve Aibel, where Ky acted erratically during a show and tried preventing Steve from leaving the water. Luckily Steve escaped without any injuries.
