Morgan

[Name] Morgan
[Date of Capture] 23.June.10
[Currently resides] Loro Parque
[Previously held at] Dolfinarium Harderwijk
[Parents] -
[Offspring] Ula

Morgan's story begins in the wild. As a calf, she was seen alone in waters off the coast of The Netherlands. She was the first orca to be seen in Dutch coastal waters for more than 60 years. It is presumed she became separated from her pod. Morgan was in an unfit state, which is why Dolfinarium Harderwijk intervened and rescued the very malnourished female, and placed her under medical watch at the park. When she gained in health, she was sent to Loro Parque in November 2011, much to the opposition of the public whom had presumed she would be released back to her family. Morgan was supposedly valued at $7 million dollars, due to her adding new DNA to the captive orca gene pool and and being a new attraction at a park. Sadly, Morgan had difficulties adjusting to the social group at Loro Parque, and was bullied by the other whales. It has also possible that Morgan is deaf, which is a reason that Loro Parque use as an argument for why Morgan cannot be returned to the wild. Morgan gave birth to a female calf, Ula, in September 2018, however did not produce enough milk to nurse, and therefore Loro Parque staff intervened to hand-rear Ula for a few months. However the pair have since been reunited.

Lolita

[Name] Lolita
[Date of capture] 08.August.70
[Currently resides] Miami Seaquarium
[Previously held at] -
[Parents] -
[Offspring] Potentially unsuccessful pregnancies

Lolita was a member of the Penn Cove round-up in 1970. Originally called Tokitae, upon her arrival, she was separated from Hugo* who already lived there. Hugo* would vocalize to her, which the owner's wife described as Hugo* calling to his "Lolita" and the name stuck. Lolita and Hugo* lived together in the tiny show pool, until is death in 1980. She has since spent 40 years without the companion of another orca. She now lives with Pacific white-sided dolphins and together they perform regularly in shows. The Miami Seaquarium trainers used to work in the water with Lolita during shows, but this was banned by OSHA in June 2015, which was quite a few years after SeaWorld's ban, following Dawn Brancheau's death.
Lolita has been the center of many animal rights campaigns, in attempt to have Lolita released or moved from her tiny pool, but alas none have had any success. It is remarkable how she has managed to live for so many years in such a small tank, whilst other's have gone to an early death.

Kiska

[Name] Kiska
[Date of capture] Oct.81
[Currently resides] MarineLand Canda
[Previously held at] Saedyrasafnid Aquarium
[Parents] Unknown
[Offspring] Unsuccesful*, Kanuck*, Nova*, Hudson* and Athena*

Kiska was caught in Icelandic waters and sent to an aquarium there. Her stay was short and she was moved to MarineLand Canada with an unnamed female*. She has lived at MarineLand since 1981, and has lived with many tank mates. They lived together in King Wardolf's Theater before moving to Friendship Cove when it opened in 1998. She has given birth to many calves, but unfortunately none are alive to date. A male from SeaWorld Florida, Ikaika, joined the family in 2006, but when all of Kiska's family passed away it was just the two of them. They shared a pool together for 5 years before Ikaika was moved to SeaWorld San Diego, as he was only on loan. Since 2011, Kiska has lived alone without any tank mate whatsoever, not even another cetacean. She is the world's most solitary captive orca. 

Ikaika

[Date of birth] 25.August.02
[Currently resides] SeaWorld California
[Previously held at] SeaWorld Florida, MarineLand Canada
[Parents] Tilikum* and Katina
[Offspring] -

For the first four years of his life, Ikaika lived at SeaWorld Florida. He lived there with his parents and siblings. He was close to his family, and enjoyed spending time with the younger orcas. In 2006 he was moved to MarineLand Canada. He liked playing with young Athena*, before she passed away. For a couple years he lived at MarineLand with just Kiska, an adult female. Ikaika was staying at MarineLand as a loan for beluga whales from SeaWorld, and there was a court case for SeaWorld to get him back. In 2011 he was transferred to SeaWorld California, as a replacement for Sumar* and he has lived there since.

Corky 2

[Name] Corky 2
[Date of capture] 11.Dec.69
[Currently resides] SeaWorld California
[Previously held at] Marineland of the Pacific
[Parents] -
[Offspring] Kiva*, "Spooky"*, 5 Unsuccessful*

Corky 2 is one of the eldest orcas in captivity, estimate to be 55 years old. She shared her name with another orca called Corky* at Marineland of the Pacific, who shortly died after Corky 2's arrival. Corky 2 lived with Orky 2* and the two were very close. Corky 2 had several pregnancies and calves, but none lived for very long. Corky 2's longest living calf was Kiva*, who lived for 46 days. An explanation to the death of the calves is that the shape of the pool (circular) prevented Corky from being able to nurse effectively.
In December 1986, SeaWorld California bought the animals of Marineland. At Corky 2's new Californian home she suffered problems with the other females, as there were issues of dominance. She was involved in a conflict with Kandu 5*, where Kandu 5* charged Corky, severed an artery and bled to death. Over the years she has played the role of surrogate mother to many of the orcas when they were young. She is a reliable performer in the shows.

Kasatka lived at every SeaWorld park. She was captured in Iceland, and sent to SeaWorld California. She lived there in the winter months, and performed at SeaWorld Ohio, with Katina. This was Kasatka's routine life for about 9 years. From 1987-1988, Kasatka had a 4 month stint in SeaWorld Florida before being moved to SeaWorld Texas. She lived there for 2 years, before moving back to her first SeaWorld home in California, and has lived there since 1990 permanently. At SeaWorld California gave birth to all 4 of her calves. She was the first orca to successfully produce a calf via artificial insemination. In 1999 and 2006, Kasatka had been involved in incidences of aggression towards trainers, but luckily none of them ended fatally. She was euthanized in 2017 after a long battle with a bacterial infection, which saw her health and skin condition deteriorate.

Orkid

[Name] Orkid
[Date of birth] 23.Sept.88
[Currently resides] SeaWorld California
[Previously held at] -
[Parents] Orky 2* and Kandu 5*
[Offspring] -

Orkid was named as a short version of "Orky's kid". Orkid's mother, Kandu 5* died as a result of charging into Corky 2, her jaw breaking and severing an artery. Kandu 5* bled to death, which little Orkid was present for. Since her mother's death, Corky 2, became surrogate mother to Orkid. Orkid gets along with all her tank mates, but she can be unpredictable with trainers, and even pulled a trainer into the tank, which led to the trainer's arm being broken.

Nakai

[Name] Nakai
[Date of birth] 01.Sept.01
[Currently resides] SeaWorld California
[Previously held at] -
[Parents] Tilikum* and Kasatka* [AI]
[Offspring] -

Nakai was the first captive killer whale to be born via artificial insemination. He never met his father, Tilikum*, who resided at SeaWorld Florida. After the birth of his half-sister, Kohana, the two became great playmates. When Kohana was moved to Florida, Nakai spent most of his time playing with Sumar*, and younger half-sister Kalia. Nakai was a playful and curious youngster, often interacting with park guests.
In September 2012, Nakai suffered a horrific injury on his chin, resulting in a massive chunk of his flesh removed down to the bone. It is said he caught himself on a gate, however it was possibly the result of an aggressive incident between tank mates. Luckily he managed to recover from this.
