## About Us

The Killer Whale Wiki, founded in 2020, is dedicated to one of the world’s most widespread and beloved predators: the killer whale! If you’re looking for accurate, up-to-date info on absolutely everything related to killer whales, this it the place for you. The Killer Whale Wiki is potentially the most expansive source of factual, up-to-date information on orcas that can be found on the internet!

**The Killer Whale Wiki was founded to encourage the free archive and distribution of information on killer whales in the wild and housed in aquaria worldwide from a neutral, unbiased, and documentative perspective.** Killer Whale Wiki contributors stem from a wide variety of scientific, hobbyist, and professional backgrounds. The Killer Whale Wiki team believes that the majority of mature, well-educated individuals that work within/are interested in the cetacean scientific field have the ability to set their differences aside regardless of their opinions on certain subjects. *It is pertinent to support sustainable ecotourism, promote the conservation of cetaceans worldwide, and, above all else, provide only the best possible welfare for killer whales in and out of human care.*

In the end, contributors shares a collective passion for these animals. Let it be known that, with that passion, we have created something great and will continue to do so as the Killer Whale Wiki expands. If you believe that you share that same passion, consider making a contribution!

Klettsvík Bay Sea Pen

Klettsvík Bay Sea Pen in 2000. Photo provided by Heimaslod.

Klettsvík Bay Sea Pen was a sea pen that housed Keiko the killer whale from 1998 to 2002. The sea pen was located in Klettsvík, on Vestmannaeyjar island in Iceland. It measured 250 ft long, 100 ft wide, and was 30 ft deep. The main structure of the sea pen was originally built in Seattle, disassembled, and then flown to Iceland where it was then reassembled in Klettsvík bay.

### Keiko

Keiko remains the only killer whale resident of the Klettsvík Bay Sea Pen. He arrived in the bay on the Thursday of September 10th, 1998, after making the almost 10 hour journey from the Oregon Coast Aquarium where he had been previously held for rehabilitation. During Keiko's time in the bay, he was taken out of the sea pen and led on open ocean walks where he was trained to follow his caretakers' boats to acclimate him to the ever-changing stimuli of the open ocean. This went on periodically until the summer of July 2002, during one such walk, where Keiko left his caretakers' boat and did not return. Six weeks later, news broke that Keiko had travelled to Norway and was now stationed in Skålvik fjord, in south-west Norway. Keiko remained there until his death in 2003.

### Dyes Inlet

Baba, her calves Rascal, Hugo, and Ballena, and Rascal's two calves L81 "Raina" and L92 "Crewser" were part of a group of L pod whales that ventured into Dyes Inlet during October of 1997. The whales, believed to be frightened by a bridge passing over their exit, remained in the inlet for a month. Though all the whales eventually left the inlet, it took a toll on their health and several of them died shortly after their ordeal. Raina was one of the whales who died shortly after leaving the inlet.

## Death

Baba was last seen in March of 2013 looking "emaciated". She was not seen with her family that summer, leading to her being declared deceased.

## Family

### Calves

*Miscarriage (1997)*

NAW-OO-C9702 was an adult female Japanese transient killer whale who lived at Nanki Shirahama Adventure World. She was a part of the last capture of wild killer whales in Japan on February 7th, 1997 from Hatajiri Bay in Taiji. She passed away due to bacterial pneumonia on June 17th, 1997 at Adventure World.

## Early Life and Capture

On February 7th, 1997, a pod of ten killer whales was driven into Hatajiri Bay (Taiji's famous cove) in Taiji, Japan. The following day, five whales, two males and three females, were taken into captivity. The remaining five orcas were driven back out to sea after refusing to leave their pod. One of the young males was very weak following the capture. NAW-OO-C9702 was believed to possibly be NAW-OO-C9701's mother, as he was still a juvenile.

## Life at Nanki Shirahama Adventure World

Shortly after her capture, NAW-OO-9702 was moved to a holding tank at Nanki Shirahama Adventure World. She joined two of the other whales captured, NAW-OO-C9701 and Kyu.

## Death

On June 17th, three days after NAW-OO-C9701's death, the female passed away due to bacterial pneumonia.

Marineland of Australia

Marineland on The Spit, Main Beach, Queensland, 1967.

Marineland of Australia, was a marine facility located on The Spit, Main Beach, Queensland Australia. It opened in 1965, closed in 1976, and kept killer whales there from 1970 until 1971. In 1976, Sea World's owner, Keith Williams reportedly paid $1.2 million to buy Marineland to acquire his park's only true competition. This effectively shut down Marineland as Sea World's facilities would later house dolphins and other marine exhibits.

Malik *(pronounced mahl-ICK)*, also known as "E-Day," was a 3-year-old female Icelandic killer whale who was lived at Marineland of Canada. She was born there on April 21st, 1996. Her mother was Nootka V and her father was Kandu VII. Malik passed away due to complications of her various immune deficiencies on March 4th, 2000 Marineland of Canada.

## Birth

Malik was born at Marineland's King Waldorf Theatre. Due to lack of space, she was likely sent to the "warehouse," a small indoor pool behind King Waldorf Theatre. When the construction of the new pool, Friendship Cove, was completed in 1998, Malik was immediately sent there with the other members of her pod.

## Life at Marineland of Canada

Since her birth, Malik had a weak immune system and could catch illness quickly. Despite this, she survived her first critical years. Due to her weakness, she was often attacked by her mother, Nootka. This behavior has been witnessed in other killer whales with calves who are sickly, as well as many other animal species.

Because of the continued aggression, Malik was put with her father, Kandu, who was very laid-back and acted as a great companion for her.

## Death

On March 4th, 2000, Malik passed away due to immune system failure. It is likely that an infection led to her death.

## Trivia

* Malik was born on Canadian Election Day, giving her the nickname "E-Day"

Kilroy

Kilroy. Photo provided by Jovana Invastanin.

Kilroy *(pronounced kill-ROY)* was an approximately 12-year-old male Southern resident killer whale who lived at SeaWorld San Diego. He was captured on February 15th, 1967 from Yukon Harbor, Washington at less than 1 year old. Kilroy passed away due to gangrenous pneumonia September 23rd, 1978 at SeaWorld San Diego.

## Capture and Early Life

Kilroy was a Southern Resident from K Pod who was born sometime around 1966. He was captured in Yukon Harbor, Washington, on February 15th, 1967 with Kandu, Ramu, Skana, and Katy. He - originally misidentified as she - was transported with Kandu to the Seattle Marine Aquarium on March 2nd.  Kilroy remained there until March 11th, when he and Ramu were moved to SeaWorld San Diego.

## Life at SeaWorld

Upon their arrival at SeaWorld, Ramu and Kilroy were kept in the dolphin pools. Although another whale already lived at the park, a female named Shamu, she was not kept with them.  In January of 1969, Shamu, Ramu, and Kilroy all caught the H3N2 Virus, known at the time as "Hong Kong Flu". All three whales were sluggish, grumpy, and exhibited flu-like symptoms. They were treated with copious amounts of antibiotics and later recovered.   At some point that year Kilroy was moved in with Shamu, leaving Ramu alone.  In December, Kandu was also moved to the park.

In February of 1971, Kandu passed away.  In May, Kilroy was moved to SeaWorld Ohio for the summer.  While being lifted into a holding pool, the sling holding him tore, leaving him dangling 30 feet above concrete. After several minutes a trainer named Jim Richards managed to grab a loose guide rope and lowered the whale into the holding pool. Kilroy was miraculously not injured.  In August, Shamu passed away, meaning that Kilroy would never see her again.

On September 26th, after the summer season had ended, Kilroy returned to SeaWorld San Diego. He was moved to the new killer whale stadium that had been built in May.  For the next few years, Kilroy spent his summers in Ohio and the rest of the year in San Diego.

## Death

In August of 1978, Kilroy began to act abnormally and refused to eat. He started to lose massive amounts of weight. Although an attempt to treat him was made, his condition didn't improve and he had to be tube fed. On September 23rd, 1978, at 5:10 am, Kilroy passed away. The cause of his death was gangrenous pneumonia and septicemia.

L45 "Asterix" (*pronounced AS-tuh-riks*) was an approximately 57-year-old female Southern resident killer whale.

## Early Life

Asterix was estimated to have been born in 1938 to L66 "Mata Hari." Mata Hari died in 1986. Asterix was said to be incredibly similar looking to Mata Hari, to the point where it was initially unclear that they were two separate individuals.

## Calves

Asterix gave birth to her first calf, J1 "Ruffles," around 1951. It was originally not known that the two were mother and son, as Ruffles was traveling separately from his mother and the rest of L pod by the time the SRKW study started in the mid 1970s. It is unknown why he separated from her. Genetic testing done in 2018 confirmed that the two were mother and son.

Asterix's second calf, L36 "Al-Te," was born in 1975 and died the same year. Her third calf, L57 "Faith," was born in 1977.
