### Species

Killer Whale

Nalani is a killer whale (*Orcinus orca*) that currently lives at SeaWorld Orlando. She was born there on September 18th, 2006 to Katina. Her father is Taku. Taku is also his brother, which means that Nalani is inbred. She is 100% Icelandic. As of July 2017, she is about 16 feet long and weighs around 4,000 pounds.

Nalani was the first inbred orca to be bred in captivity and survive. Katina showed a lack of interest in bonding with her after she was born and she was harassed frequently by her older brother Ikaika, but Nalani developed normally. She shows no signs of being inbred.

Before it was stopped in 2010, Nalani had been learning basic waterwork and has never had any behavioral incidents.
Val

Val is an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that was rescued on February 11th, 2006.

Val stranded on a mud flat near Oldsmar, Florida. She was rescued by Clearwater Marine Aquarium staff, and taken to the Mote Marine Laboratory for rehabilitation. Val arrived emaciated, dehydrated, and covered in abscesses. She also had a heavy parasite load. Val began swimming right away and recovered quickly in the following weeks. On May 23rd, 2006, Val was released off the north side of Courtney Campbell Causeway in Safety Harbor. She immediately joined up with other dolphins and was tracked for about a month after release.
Nakai

Photo taken on May 2nd, 2018 at SeaWorld San Diego by Flickr user "TessOrca".

Nakai was a killer whale (*Orcinus orca*) that lived at SeaWorld San Diego from his birth up until his passing on August 4TH, 2022. He was born there on September 1st, 2001 to Kasatka. His father is Tilikum. As of May 2015, Nakai was about 18 feet long. As of November 2015, he weighed around 6,000 pounds.

Nakai was the first orca to be conceived by artificial insemination. While his mother lived in California, Nakai's father lived in Florida. Unusually for orcas, Nakai was born head-first. Nakai has never shown any aggression towards his trainers and was used for waterwork before it was stopped by SeaWorld in 2010. He was very close to his mother Kasatka before she died in 2017.

In 2012, Nakai was seriously injured in a fight with two other whales, Keet and Ikaika. It's unknown who instigated the fight or why. Later, trainer's noticed that a "dinner plate sized" chunk of flesh was missing from Nakai's chin. It was later recovered from the bottom of the pool. SeaWorld claimed that Nakai injured himself on the pool wall while trying to escape the other whales, but some believe that the flesh was bitten off by another whale, based on visible puncture wounds around the wound in photographs of it. Nakai was placed on antibiotics and recovered.

In early August 2022, trainers noticed Nakai showing signs of discomfort in the early evening of August 4th. Despite their best efforts, Nakai sadly passed away later that night. His cause of death is believed to be some sort of infection. He will be greatly missed, and is remembered by his sister Kalia, his brother Makani, and his best friend Orkid.
Sassy

Sassy was a female Atlantic bottlenose dolphin who lived at the Mystic Aquarium. She was captured off the coast of Florida in November 1972. In 1985, Sassy gave birth to a female calf. Sadly, the calf passed away only 5 days later. Sassy passed away on February 18th, 1987 due to Dystocia and Uterine Hemorrhage, meaning that she likely had a calf before her death.

Sleepy is a rough-toothed dolphin (*Steno bradanensis*) that was rescued on August 7th, 2004.

Sleepy stranded on Hutchinson Island, Florida with 37 other rough-toothed dolphins. All were pushed back into the water, but they all re-stranded. Sleepy and six other rough-toothed dolphins were brought to the Mote Marine Laboratory for rehabilitation. Because there were seven of them, they were named after the seven dwarfs. The remaining dolphins were euthanized on the beach. Grumpy, Happy, Doc, and Dopey ended up passing away. When Sleepy arrived, he had severe pneumonia. He made a complete recovery, and was released with Sneezy and Bashful 18 miles east of Ft. Pierce on March 3rd, 2005. The three dolphins were tracked traveling together for several days after release. By the 21st of March, they were traveling off the coast of North Caroline and Virginia together.

Pasco

Photo taken by and at the Mote Marine Laboratory.

Pasco was a pygmy killer whale (*Feresa attenuata*) that was rescued on August 21st, 1998.

Pasco stranded in New Port Richley, Florida and was brought to the Mote Marine Laboratory. Because he had difficulty floating and swimming, he was placed in a custom floating harness that seemed to help him. Pasco was also suffering from intestinal and respiratory parasites, dehydration, and many small shark bites.

Though Pasco made some improvement, he took a turn for the worse in September. He couldn't close his blowhole underwater and would turn to his side without attempting to right himself. Realizing that Pasco likely had a central nervous system disorder that couldn't be cured, the decision was made to humanely euthanize him. A necropsy confirmed that Pasco was suffering from a central nervous system disorder caused by parasites in his meninges.
Roux Brees

Roux Brees (better known as Roux) is an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that currently lives at Dolphin Connection. He was rescued on January 29th, 2011.

Roux stranded in Grand Isle, Louisiana when he was estimated to be a year old. He had been attacked by other dolphins, and was in very poor condition. It's believed that his stranding was related to an unusual mortality event in 2011 in which nearly 350 stranded marine mammals died in the Gulf of Mexico. Roux is the only one who survived. He was rescued by the Audubon Aquarium and named Roux Brees after the Louisiana dish and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. After he recovered, Roux was moved to Gulf World Marine Park.

Rex was found stranded on St. George Island and rescued. Rex had problems with his lungs, which were believed to be caused by aspiration and fungal pneumonia. It was also discovered that he had swallowed several marine sponges. Rex demonstrated hearing loss, which led to him being declared non-releasable by the National Marine Fisheries Service in August. He was placed at Gulf World Marine Park, where several others of his species are kept. After Clearwater Marine Aquarium rescued Rudolph, Rex was moved there so he could be Rudolph's companion. It was thought that the two dolphins would get along since they were similar ages. But then, on March 6, 2023, he passed away from the same issue as Winter and Hemingway had.

Killer Whale

Orkid is a killer whale (*Orcinus orca*) that currently lives at SeaWorld San Diego. She was born there on September 23rd, 1988 to Kandu V. Her father is Orky 2. As of 2015, Orkid is about 19 feet long and weighs around 6,025 pounds. She is 50% Icelandic and 50% Northern Resident.

Orkid was the first orca to be successfully born at SeaWorld San Diego. Her father, Orky 2, died three days after she was born. Orkid was named in his honor. Her mother, Kandu V, was very protective of her baby and would often fight with the other female the two lived with, Corky 2. When Orkid was 11 months old, her mother attempted to rake Corky. Kandu hit either Corky or the wall and the impact broke her jaw, severing an artery in her head. Park guests were quickly ushered out, and Orkid and Kandu were taken to a back pool. There, Kandu slowly bled to death in front of her calf, who refused to leave her. After Orkid was orphaned, Corky acted as a surrogate mother to her.

Orkid is known as an intelligent and aggressive whale. She's been involved in more aggressive incidents than any other captive orca. On April 21st, 1990, Orkid bumped a trainer's head. On October 23rd, 1994, Orkid bumped a trainer's thigh while she was on land. She mouthed another trainer's thigh and opened her mouth at them two years later. Later that same year, she attacked a trainer again, bumping the trainer's thigh and body and smacking them with her flukes. A few months later, Orkid lunged at a trainer's arm. In 1997, Orkid bumped a trainer's hip while they were on land. In two separate incidents the following year, Orkid pushed a kayak and shoved a trainer's midsection. On July 31st, 2002, Orkid and another orca named Splash attacked trainer Tamarie Tollison. Orkid grabbed the trainer by the foot and pulled her into the water. Splash and Orkid then tossed Tollison around and held her under the water. Eventually, someone unlatched a nearby gate, which caused Splash and Orkid to think the matriarch, Kasatka, was entering the pool They let go of Tollison, giving her enough time to get out of the pool with just a broken arm. In 2005, Orkid grabbed a trainer's foot and dragged them to the bottom of the pool. She ignored one signal to come back, but responded to the next one. In 2006, Orkid dragged another trainer, Brian Rokeach, underwater and ignored attempts to call her back twice. Rokeach suffered from a torn ankle ligament. After this incident, waterwork with Orkid was stopped. In 2007, Orkid was doing an A.I. session when she suddenly ignored a trainer's signal and smacked the trainer with her head. The trainer fell over a wall, resulting in hospitalization for minor injuries.

Peanut is an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that was rescued on July 11th, 1999.

Peanut stranded on New Smyrna Beach, Florida and was brought to the Mote Marine Laboratory. He started eating and swimming right away, but suffered from other health issues including malnutrition, pneumonia, and a gastrointestinal infection. Peanut had also ingested several foreign objects including marine sponges, tube worm castings, shells, and plastic bags. It was believed that he ingested them due to being unable to catch normal prey. Peanut recovered and on October 12th, 1999, he was released in waters 1 mile off of Ponce Inlet. He was tracked for around 8 hours after his release.

Peanut's extremely decomposed body was later located. He was was estimated to have died within a week of release, during or before Hurricane Irene. Hurricane Irene was only a tropical depression when Peanut was released, and it was predicted that it would land on the west coast of Florida. It instead travelled across the state to the east. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, a cause of death could not be determined.

Nemo was a pygmy sperm whale (*Kogia breviceps*) that was rescued on May 6th, 2001. As of July of 2001, Nemo was about 6'2" and weighed around 230 pounds.

Nemo stranded in Vero Beach, Florida, and was taken to the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. On May 11th, he was transferred to the Mote Marine Laboratory because they were currently caring for another pygmy sperm whale calf named Ami. The plan was that Nemo and Ami could be housed together if Nemo didn't have any contagious diseases. In July of 2001, Nemo was finally considered healthy enough to be housed with Ami. Though Ami seemed eager to interact with him, Nemo largely ignored her. After about a week, Nemo's health started to suffer, and he was separated from Ami.

In August of 2001, Nemo's condition rapidly deteriorated and he died on August 16th. A necropsy revealed the cause of death was septicemia, likely caused by a liver infection.
