80s SoCal kid here who very well might have been there for this show or very close to it. I definitely remember seeing “Baby Shamu” (Orkid), her mother Kandu and “Shamu”. The larger orca (AKA Shamu) is Corky. She’s been there for a very long time and is the oldest surviving orca in captivity currently. Sadly, Kandu (Kandu 5) was only around for about 13.5 months after this. 😢
@@admissionand15adventuresKandu is one my favorite vintage whale so it was nice to see her because it’s hard to see their personalities when they died long ago
0:33 BABY ORKID?!? ❤❤
