SeaWorld said a killer whale calf was born Wednesday at its park in San Antonio, Texas — the last orca to be born in the company's care.
SeaWorld — which has two dozen orcas at its parks in San Antonio, San Diego and Orlando, Florida — said the calf was born Wednesday afternoon to Takara, the 25-year-old matriarch of the orca pod, who was already pregnant when the company announced that it was ending orca breeding last year.
"This is an exciting and emotional day for us at SeaWorld, and we are all so proud to share this new killer whale calf with the world after a year and a half of planning and observing and providing all the special care," said Chris Bellows, vice president of zoological operations at the San Antonio park.
