Gender: FemalePod: N/A (Mother was Kohana)Place of Capture: Captive bornDate of Capture: Born August 3, 2012Age at Capture: Captive bornOn February 13, 2006, four young Orcas were sent from SeaWorld to Loro Parque in Spain.Keto, Tekoa, Kohana, and Skyla had been sent to the park on a breeding loan, though many were shocked at these choices, as all four whales were closely related. The two females were only 2 and 3 years old at the time as well, meaning they had never learned the skills on how to properly raise their own calves from their mothers.However, the park persisted in breeding their whales and on August 3, 2012, Kohana gave birth to her second calf, sired by her uncle Keto, when she was just 10 years old.Just like her first calf, a male named Adán, also sired by Keto and born when Kohana was only 8 years old, Kohana immediately rejected her second calf; a female known as Victoria, or Vicky.Kohana paid no attention to Vicky and staff had to step in to hand-rear Vicky just like they had with Adán.Vicky seemed to do well, however. She was eating well, playing with her older brother in the medical pool. Though, the majority of her life was spent alone with inflatable toys and trainers as her companions.However, she began exhibiting changes in her behavior, and a SeaWorld veterinarian had been flown out to the park.Unfortunately, on June 16, 2013, Vicky died due to Intestinal Complications at only 10 months old.x | x | x | x | x | x -- source link
