  • SeaWorld Welcomes New Calf To Shamu Family

     

    Thursday, September 21, 2006
    ORLANDO, FLORIDA - SeaWorld Orlando has welcomed the newest member of the Shamu killer whale family.

    A video released by the park shows the killer whale calf being born and swimming off with its mother on Monday.

    Park officials don't know the sex of the 7-foot-long, 350-pound baby.

    It's the 14th killer whale calf born at the park.

    The calf's mother, Katina, also gave birth to the first baby whale born and successfully raised in captivity more than 20 years ago.
