@1992kml It's mostly so she can feel close to her mother, and she's also stimulating milk production. You'll notice that where she's hitting is where she drinks milk from.
Hello Bubblywums, Namu(the-orca) from Da speaking here :D
Just a question, as can be seen at 0.49 and at more parts of the movie, you can come very close to the orcas. So in fact, when Ike would for example put his chin on that shallow ledge, nothin would/could stop you from petting him (except for the fact it's probably strctly forbidden). Just a question ;P
@fredjelucas Since this video was filmed, they put up another wall around the edge so people can't get that close anymore. Also, they have staff that monitor people so they don't put their hands too close or stand on top of the second wall. :)
That is so cool! At Sea world, you can't get that close to the orcas. It would be amazing to get right up next to them. Orcas are so awesome :D Those two look so happy together :) Great vid!
Awesome! Thanks! It is almost finished, but my computer for some reason says I have to export the file to a different kind. It is a windows movie maker. So I don't exactly know when I will upload it, but hopefully soon! ;D
@AmyHoneyBunny that tank is actually quite big i think, if you want to see a small tank look at the tiny fishbowl the Orca Lolita lives in at the Miami Seaquarium... :(
i thought athena was like only 1!!! and o ok makes sense i mean it'd b cruel 2 take away a friendship just so that person can get wat THEY want. but they don't do show's like where they do tricks in those educational display things do they??
AWESOME!!! at least u live sorta near niagara falls so u can go 2 marineland alot right? i've been 2 niagara falls but we didn't no anything about marineland when we went there and now i REALLY want 2 go back there again!!
i REALLY want 2 but my dad got pissed when we went there because we started looking 4 a hotel at around 12:30 a.m. and we didn't find a hotel till like 2:30 a.m. i'm still trying 2 beg him 2 go there again 2 go 2 marineland but i'm not sure if he'll budge.
They are beautiful creatures, but im really angry watching all those people tapping on the class and you now wanting thier shots of these orcas. I'm not sure if that was thier tank they live in or if tht was thier performing tank but it was really wuite small. i just wish they never captured Kiska in the first place from Iceland
Their tank is twice as big as shown, it is divided into two parts right now because of baby Athena was blocked off from the other female. They actually have a rail to prevent people from touching the glass, there are no people tapping the glass in this video. I personally like being able to see the whales at Marineland, but I can understand your anti-captivity remarks. The orcas are healthy and not being treated badly there, unlike some other Marine Animal parks.
They aren't really shows, they are more like educational displays. They tell you all about the orcas like what they eat, their size, etc. They do I few jumps if they feel like it but the trainers don't make them perform. I know because when I was their one of the orcas was a little over-heated so they didn't make her perform. It's nothing like the shows at other marine parks.
well that's good and it looks like they have pretty big tanks probly bigger then the ones in seaworld! and it looks like their getting along pretty well especialy athena! =)
I actually don't know. It may be because the orcas are suitable for people to touch. The ones in the petting session unfortunately all passed away because their was something wrong with their genes. The whales that are there now are friendly, but I don't think Marineland trusts them enough to have people petting them. Of course, this is not confirmed so don't quote me on it. xP
Athea huh :) I Don't know her name. I'm from czech republic and in summer 2006 i was on holidays in Canada. It was amazing :) I want back...

@bubblywums Too bad XD Is it a real wall around it, just like the 'main' wall, or is it more like a fence?
Thanks for the info :)

ilikenintendo2005 5 years ago
Yup, they do. They do a few jumps and twirls but that's about it. Like I said earlier, it's nothing like the shows at SeaWorld.
bubblywums 5 years ago
ok well that's good that means the orca's r treated very good there! u must live in niagra falls then huh?
ilikenintendo2005 5 years ago

Nah, I live in London, Ontario. It's a few hours drive from Niagara.

ilikenintendo2005 5 years ago
You can pet and feed (not that they need it. xD) the belugas, yes. You used to be able to pet the orcas but they don't do that anymore.
bubblywums 5 years ago
how come??
