This isn't beautiful or cute... Chimo (the white one) was captured with her whole family and later sold to a marine park. Her mother was kept in the netted area after her capture and starved to death because she refused to eat fish, even though divers tried to put it directly in her mouth, as seen in this video. (This was a mammal eating population). Chimo was found dead in her pool, tangled in a net and injured, only 2.5 years after her capture. Although the park claimed she died of illness, it's more likely that her tankmate Haida killed her since he started showing aggression towards her and injured her during the night.
Victoria BC, the park has been closed since three Orcas killed a trainer in 89 (Tilikum, the one that killed the trainer in 2010 was one of the 3). The almost pure white one was Chimo, a rare albino, that died 2yrs after capture from an illness.

She died from Chédiak-Higashi syndrome, the same thing that caused her color
C'est magnifique de telles images aussi rares.
