Orkid really is the smartest killer whale in San Diego. She was dubbed the rocket scientist for her intelligence. I am sure Kandu would be so proud of her daughter if she is still alive.
I remember when I was a toddler, my parents took me and my brother to California to visit my moms brother Shelby in San Diego. we had a blast. I was so young and so mesmerized by the amazing things I saw. we went to the zoo one day and Lego land the next. and then we went to seaworld. I remember how my dad got me a shamu plushie. at the time, I couldn't pronounce shamu so I ended up saying shampoo instead. when we went to the orca show, I remember standing at the glass viewing window, and watching shamu swim with his trainer. I saw how deep the pool was, and I was afraid of it, yet amazed at the same time. during the show, one of the trainers picked me as a volunteer. my mom went up with me. they let me pet shamu from the viewing glass. my mom was holding me up so I could reach. shamu felt nice and cold in the heat. I remember the feeling so vividly. but now, every time I think of this, I feel sick. because I know that the orca are unhappy. and that i was only adding to their pain
Don't feel sick. Orcas at SeaWorld only suffered last century when they were captured. Now, they have lots of entertainment, good healthcare (something wild whales can only dream of), and a wonderful home. They are okay. They're not in pain. Don't make yourself feel bad for no reason and stay safe!
And look where she is now. She's working to become the new matriarch for the San Diego pod to replace the dearly departed Kasatka. Stand tall, Orkid. You've come a long way, kid...
Poor Orkid had to endure and watch one of the most horrific things you can imagine. B/c Orkid's mother Kandu V wanted to force her dominance on Corky she missed and hit tank's wall severing an artery in her jaw. Orkid was with her mother while she bled out for 45 minutes. A long a painful death. :(
Seaworld's breeding program is just SO amazing that orcas are dying left right and centre! Haha! I see how amazing that is! Especially how their numbers in captivity are DECLINING.
@iberry Yes, I perfectly understand. I'm glad you did, because despite my not-liking them in captivity, they are still amazing animals, and you'd never see this in the wild. Also, I recommend you read articles posted by The Orca Project. It has helped many people understand fully why they are not doing well in captivity, from a scientific perspective. :)
I'm not a pro-cap anymore, but I swear - youtube comments is not a place to take up arguments over who is right or wrong. xD Baby Orkid is so adorable!
Omg!I just went to seaworld today and I was about to watch shamu rocks but,she was in labor and we could hear all of the yelling and because shamu rocks was cancelled,we had to watch the fireworks.And Shamu had a show 2hours before shamu rocks,and she was able to perform!!!Oh and P.S, whales are both sexes
Everybody if u didn’t know..... they are forced to perform. They live a short life. I found this out today... if you ever see a worker at sea world tell them... don’t force yo perdform those creatures die because you guys force them.! They will do what u guys say only if they wanna do
You sound like a 9yr old and have clearly not done any objective research yourself. The animals only perform out of free will. Shows are often altered or even cancelled because the animals don't want to perform.
@notdotcalm - Ohhh sorry youtube messes up these comments... I didn't know what you were replying to. Hey, I never attacked her, she came out and insulted me first. It's only fair that I insult her back ;)
@@bruh5547 They were literally just saying they're her favourite orca and that they're beautiful. Her comment has absolutely nothing to do with captivity.
@shamuroxy - Except i'm not trying to convince anyone am i? ;) BTW, you pro-caps were the one who started this, I left a comment on here TEN MONTHS AGO and one of you guys dragged it up. Seriously.. you people need to stop livin in the past xD
Even as a baby she (Orkid) had her patched looking sad, so adorable

Happy Birthday Orkid! She’s thirty six today! ❤🤘🏻
Awww it's my favorite baby Orkid! I miss you girl!!😭♥️
And look where she is now. She's working to become the new matriarch for the San Diego pod to replace the dearly departed Kasatka. Stand tall, Orkid. You've come a long way, kid...

Yes, Orkid lived terrible things. His father died only three days after her birth, she also lost many of his friends ..

Seaworld's breeding program is just SO amazing that orcas are dying left right and centre! Haha! I see how amazing that is! Especially how their numbers in captivity are DECLINING.
FreedomForOrcas wtf is wrong with you?! Don’t always believe news,documentaries and companies.
Agree 100%
Katina and kalina are my favs

Thanks for uploading this.
Guys ik some of u think this is wrong, but they are raised in captivity!! They are happy animals!! Maybe they would be happier in the sea, maybe not.
@iberry Yes, I perfectly understand. I'm glad you did, because despite my not-liking them in captivity, they are still amazing animals, and you'd never see this in the wild.

The births are Keet and Orkid and the one nursing is Katrina
I love orkid
I'm not a pro-cap anymore, but I swear - youtube comments is not a place to take up arguments over who is right or wrong. xD
Baby Orkid is so adorable!

I am livid that they stopped the breeding program
Damn I miss the old sea world

Witch one?
Shut up about anti captivity comments omg just stop I’m tired of it.
It’s true beauty
@shamuroxy - Because I can? I'll do what I want little missy.
I vaguely remember downloading this video to use footage.

Shut up it’s not the trainers fault
Please just stop with your uneducated "knowledge" I mean it really annoys me
I was born in 1988 !!!
One question why does Orkid ‘s eyepatch look sad
Good question it’s just a mark in her body it’s not her eyes it didn’t show any tipe of saddens
MissMuaaSuperKitty85 :3 oh thanks
Emotion*
Orkid is now 24 years old and is rumored to be the smartest killer whale at SeaWorld.

@notdotcalm - Ohhh sorry youtube messes up these comments... I didn't know what you were replying to. Hey, I never attacked her, she came out and insulted me first. It's only fair that I insult her back ;)

JOIN VEGAN TEAM!!!! AND DO NOT GO TO SEA WORLD PLS
No thanks, my steak is delicious.
I DON'T LIKE SEA WORLD BOOOOOOOOOOI
Seaworld is cruel
FREE THEM!
never
BOOOO sea world
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I don't like SeaWorld 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Anyone who pays to visit any captive show need to take a long hard look in the mirror.
Anyone who blindly believes that SeaWorld's orcas are abused needs to do their research.
You are also funding the rescue of over 30,000 marine animals by buying a ticket to SeaWorld.
