  • what is such a big deal about having having a few dolphins or orcas in captivity? they will be protected from predators getting food and clean environment and also be cerebraly stimuated everyday, life expect. doubled is most case, to me it mean they actually do better than their bro out there that need to struggle to get shitty food sometimes thank you pollution! so you all activists fight for a good reason, like thousands of sharks massacred every min!or anything else you ll find something....

  • The flood is so epic!!

  • for gods sake, just given birth and is already doin tricks for people cant they give her a rest for a while

  • @janecot123

    Umm, I thought that was just video ya see they will cancel the Shamu shows if a whale has gone into labor they can't have a big audience sitting there cause its sorta distracting and dangerous for the orca but even for the trainers! The orcas in this were Katina and most likely Nalani but you can tell this is video because Nalani is 4 months old still young but they will not make a perform she will hang with her mom. When Katina jumps the baby can jump if it wants to.

  • Rip Kalina ♥ :'(

  • @LauriiKetolover

    I thought that was Katina?

  • @notdotcalm I can see there Kalina ..

    for me is her..

  • I LIKE IT A LOT

  • I'm booking a surprise for my family I did my research at bestvaluethemeparks (.) com

  • i saw this in 2006 it was just after she had her baby i love orcas im so happy she just had a new baby :)

  • 4 orcas have died in the last 4 months in seaworld. Living in a bath tub, having an artificial diet and living in chemically treated water in an environment that puts tremendous stress on their bodies, no orca in captivity has lived the age of 40, in the wild they live to be 60-80 years old.

    SeaWorld has spent decades trying to convince the world that, such a creature belongs in small concrete tanks. The evidence has been mounting for at least 25 years that this is flatly untrue.

  • @missemiliou - Actually one miss treated orca has lived to be 40, Her name is Lolita. She need our help. But otherwise i agree with you. The orcas do live longer in the wild. Most orcas dont make it past 10yrs and most calfs born dont make it to there 1st or 2nd year of life. In the wild most of them live to be old. Captivity isn't ment for these amizing animals. They need to be in the wild with their families.

  • @ALoveForOrcas Yeah i know a few whales have liked over 40, but it is very rare, i feel so bad for Lolita, something needs to be done. Have you seen the documentary Lolita slave to entertainment? Its amazing

  • @missemiliou - yes i have a video i made that tells a tiny bit about her. . im surprised she hasnt killed or attacked one of the trainers. Shes way to sweet to do that but if she did i dont blame her. She needs everyones help. You can watch my video if you want - Orcas . . its my first one like that. It was an experiment but it does give some details about her. I plan on doing a video only about her and hugo. Its pathetic that Lolita has to suffer for us. MSA shouldnt be allowed to have animals.

  • marine biologists and animal behaviour experts reckon dolphins are better off in the wild,hunting for food and enjoying the vast expanse of the ocean where they swim up to 50 miles a day and dive hundreds of feet. But by keeping them in captivity aquariums can make lots & lots of money and entertain people.see the wspa website regarding the facts surrounding captive dolphins.You will not find any marine biologist suggesting that keeping dolphins in captivity is beneficial to their wellbeing!

  • if u didnt all ready know this but the killer whales do tricks naturaly the most common one is called breaching so its not cruel its just natural so dont start moaning

  • how to make ta song please?

  • omg this brings back so many memorys i remember when we saw shamu and i ran up to the glass it was the best birthday i ever had 10 years old and i saw shamu ^^ shame he died a year or so after :(

  • too cute!!!!!

  • NO MORE CAPITALISM!

  • FREE ORCAS AND DOLPHINS

  • FREE CAPTIVE WHALES

  • POOR WHALES

  • That is one of the most breathtaking things I've ever seen

  • I love shamu! I went to sea world in 2006 too! :)

  • I Know People Believe That These Animal Should Be In The Wild But Seaworld Rescues The Animals And Looks After Them Honest There Is a Story Behind Every Animal There And Alot Of The Animals Where Born In Captivity So They Wouldnt Be Able To Live In The Wild <3

  • why don't they make it a non-profit organization? i'll tell you why - because they want to make billions of dollars and imprison these whales

  • How do you pay to take care of these animals with a non-profit organization?

  • Comment removed

  • yay shamu

  • Rest In Peace Dawn Brancheau,you will be missed and never forgotten!!

  • i would love to go and see one of these shows

  • went and saw the shamu show really cool

  • @kkkstarz1 lol there really fun in orlando with "shamu' they have a soaker zone where you get drenched in water by shamu the whale when he jumps lmao

  • aww

  • i do think all dolphin,whale and sea shows are amazing but they really should be out in there real habittat becuase now there going to get depedent on the trainers ):

  • Well Maybe But..... They Are Calling This One Tilly!

  • well ofcourse if they said Shamu killed someone that applies to like 50 whales

  • thats not fair ,

    they make money of that havin a baby

    how would they like it ?

  • safer environment, may not be as natural but safe.

    The whales are sure to get food and care when sick cant get it in the wild

  • Comment removed

  • Shamu at Orland Seaworld Attacked and Killed her Trainer, Trainer was pronounced Dead at the scene.

  • that wasnt shamu

  • It Was Not Shamu It Was A Whale Called Tilly It Killed Its 40 Year Old Trainer

  • all whales from seaworld Perform under the name Shamu

  • shamu was sent to florida quite a while ago

  • the real shamu died over 20 years ago

  • They were meant for a life in the sea, not in slavery.

  • watching this brings back lots of childhood memories

  • animal cruelty my ass, that whale gets better health care and shelter than most of Americans, it looks happier than a pig in shit.

  • as long as the shamu are happy im a a happy scout

  • no its not what if the animals like performing anyway plus they take care of them anyway

  • So that they would die because they don't know how to survive in the wild? It's like putting a child on the street, it wouldn't know what to do, would be scared, and would want to go back to who cared for it.

  • I think as long as Seaworld stops training young Orcas to perform tricks for profit, they can slowing but surely over period of decades change the operation without causing shockh to either the current performing Orcas or the trainers/ managers, Seaworld should become the worlds foremost rescue rehabilitation centre and could have more extensive breeding programmes to save endangered species, and never condemn other wise wild marine mammals to a life of captivity as a performing circus act.

  • I belive there are constructive ways out, In the UK they simply made it Illegal, this was in the early 90's

  • I've just been finding it a little frustrating, It's been happening alot , either I get blocked deleted or they pull the video , or disable all comments. I have only known Orcas in the wild and it really upsets me seeing them like this, I believe that mature tamed and trained orcas cannot successfully be released, and understand that for the existing performing Orcas the show probably must go on, I would like pro captivity people to consider alternatives ways out of this inherited mistake.

  • i love this i cry every time i see these amazing creatures i am going this summer and i am so excited!

  • Hooray so I am not the only person who is in tears when I see Shamu!! My friend laughs at me, but its just so emotional seeing these unbelievable creatures,cant wait to go back, not been since 2001

  • whats the name of the song

  • my friend is clapping and cring she is so happy and emotional

  • is this really shamu i thought he wuz a boy and this killer whale gave birth

  • aww i love the shamu show..i went on 2007 january...awesome show aw how i love it!!!

  • the tail are tiny compared to the size of the whale

  • AHHHH! I screamed when the sound came on! Beause I turned my speakers up to full volume!

  • I WENT THERE IN 2006 !!!!!!!

    did you go in october?????

  • I cried wen i saw this too! LOL Good times =] xx

  • my mum always cries at this show for some reason

  • awaw she gave birth

  • Can i tell people that dont understand the problem with animals - animals such as dolphins when they bond with a trainer they bond for life. the trainers treat these big animals with such respect and if they were to place them back into the sea where they belong they will die because they carnt fend for them selfs. i asure you that these trainers treat these animals with so much respect and love its unreal. PLEASE SEE FACTS BEFORE YOU TYPE STUPID NOT NEEDING COMMENTS. thank you

  • Those animals were actually saved actualy now most of them were born there and they are treated so well and are fed everyday and get teh perfect amount of excersise they are treated better then any then any whale in the wild those whales couldnt survive in the wild not having to hunt for there food they are like living the life its not cruel

  • @saltlifegirl5 you suck. ur completely wrong

  • that's stupid and cruelty to animals

    in the habitat where orcas live normally they have no walls or loud music

    just try to imagine you are forced to life in a small room your hole life

  • you might want to check your spelling before you talk.

    *orca

    *whole

  • i got a shamu stuff animal at the wild arctic gift shop!!

  • i went to the 2009 show a few days ago! :)

  • and im researching marine biology because im interested in doing the training and performing with whales and dolphins :D

  • Hmm.. Marine Biology isn't the best field for marine mammal trainers.

    Any of the SeaWorld trainers will tell you that they have degrees in Psychology, not Marine Biology.

  • Killer Whales are Dolphins - there the biggest kind of dolphin. so there all the same :)

  • i loved it there! i went to 3 beleive shows and 2 shamu rocks shows. i didnt get any videos of shamu rocks but im gunna put some beleive stuff up

  • she always comes up and is like "now wheres my damn fish???" hahaha

  • fantastic footage of birth.just think now they can train another beautiful and rare mammal to do party tricks for the public.

  • watch Gong Yoo the goldfish swim through hoops!!!watch?v=aWR2RgLX61o

  • now that was extraordinary! LOL!

  • I get to go to FL. soon and see shamu and go to aquatica is it lots of fun?I think So! I can't wait!!!!!!!

  • did she just give birth?? I mean, did they make her do a show just after she gave birth???

  • The trainer said that is Katina, so does that mean the new born whale is Nalani?? I think it is! Wow; great footage!!! Awesome!!!

  • this is so nice and sweet, Shamu and his wonderful trainers inspired me when I saw the show an I was in the soak zone! XD

  • ohh the baby whale is sooooo cute i bet there trainer is gonna have a lot of work

  • were you there when that mother whale actually gave birth?

  • Seaworld Orlando

  • hi i love shamu i want to work with them in orlando florida wen older lol i got some vidios of shamu(4)

  • when you go to sea world you see that it really isn't like that there, the trainers and whales have such a strong bond with each other, these whales are healthy and fit. Iv been to sea world a few times and if the whales or dolphins don't want to do a show they wont...

  • i went to the 2008 show beat that

  • hey is it once every year

  • why do you say 2008 show they do they show twice everyday!!!!

  • i loved when shamu wet me xD

  • hey man what exactly shamu is

  • I just been there this week, AMAZING!!! Definately worth going to!!!!! SHAMU SHAMU

  • Great vid, I am going there maybe in next Summer;)

  • Do go its the best holiday ive ever been on coz there's so many theme parks and my fav's were sea world, universal and aquatica and in the night time we went down to old time kissmee, downtown disney for shopping and the magic kingdom for the fireworks it was all so magical... i know the fireworks sound pathetic but i nearly cried lol

  • Cool video! Do you mind if I use it for a video I want to make? It's about just orcas! I will be sure to credit you! Please let me know if I can use this video! :D

  • big ass whale

  • No, its Kalina!!

  • it was katina

  • Wasn't that Katina? She's such a good looking whale.

  • KAWAII !! lol they still make shamu wave even after shes just given birth lolz.shes probs like HEY leeve be be pleeze >:( lol

  • he looks like willy

  • notice the bend in her dorsal finn, she obiously been in captivity for a long time. I have a great respect for orcas and i think they should all be in the wild and not forced to live in containment

  • omg shut up and watch the show

  • OH MAN, LIKE YOUR COMMENT MATTERS. People like you make me sick, you ruin everything for everyone because you think you work for PETA and you know everything. Nobody cares, shut up.

  • SOOOOOOOOOOOO KAWAIIIII I SAW FOR THE FIRST IN MY LIFE THE BIRTH OF A KILLER WHALE was that baby shamu and both mother and child had that thing as free willy.

    (dont know how people call that in english

  • shamu is sooooooooooooooooooo

    cute ^.^

  • My mom was with the camera and shamu got it all wet when he splashed. lol

  • holy shit that whale is a fat ass

  • i was sat in the front row of this and was o the big screen whn i got splashed was awesome lol. the wateris absolutly freezinglol.

  • What happens to the Orcas they do not work as the trainers want?

    Does an Orca that do not perform be shown to the public?

    Do you think they create a welfare fond for Orcas who just cost money and do not bring money ?

    Arent you a bit blue eyed if you think so?

    Man how old are you really?

  • They feed them if they Don't Preform,Because if they don't preform they will find an orca that will.And this isn't JUST for entertainment,Orcas in the Wild are In Danger,And if we put them in Captivity they have a better chance,And if we put them back in the wild after we help them,They could may as well risk dying..So we need to help them..

  • I don't like to see animals perform however good they may seem.

  • Two weeks ago we had Orcas here in our waters of Madeira. That's rar but it happens and when it happens it is wonderfull.

    Only in the oceans you should see this animals, they belong to the wild and it's much more interesting to see them in their natural behaviour then in this aqua parks, where they have to funktion and make themselves like clowns. Poor animals! What the hell are we humans thinking we are?

  • This is abuse, no question about it. Dolphins/Orcas either perform or they're not fed. How about we do that to children? Good grades, unconditional obedience to get food! No wonder these intelligent animals commit suicide. They belong in the wild and if we're lucky enough to see them in the wild then we have been blessed by God!

  • Dolphins and whales can not be trained by force. If you push a dolphin, it pushes back. If you starve a dolphin, it dies. If you punish a dolphin, then the fun atmosphere of the session is ruined and you get nowhere. If a dolphin is not given its daily amount of nutrition, their health deteriorates, and they are more prone to illness and death.

    These animals are trained using a system of positive reinforcement. People twist this and make it seem like they're punished if they don't behave.

  • Ok,For all of yall that think it is Abuse,I think they Don't use the Ones they Catch in the Wild for shows.They use those whales to breed,And they use the ones Bred In Captivity for the Shows.They do this for not just the Saftey of the staff,but for the safety of the Whale.Training a Whale that spent most of it's life in the wild is dangerous for Them.They could get hurt badly,Not just the staff.

  • Oh great argument... so if you breed human children in captivity for some childabuse of some damn son of a bitch this is o.k?

    I mean thei dont know the difference, would that be o.k. for you?

  • Oh great argument... so if you breed human children in captivity for some childabuse of some damn son of a bitch this is o.k?

    I mean thei dont know the difference, would that be o.k. for you?

    GREAT ARGUMENT! RESPECT!

  • So slaves born in slavery are used to it, so it is not a problem... is it that what you mean?

  • Has anyone heard of the movie where the former Marine Corps General Maywater directs and stars as the first gay orca Shamu, and his old friend from the Navy Colon Powell will make a cameo as the orca's feces. Let me know, this sounds like a breakthrough film for the young gay military leaders.

  • Aww :D

  • whats the song called ive forget

  • I didn't see the orca baby being born, but I did see it! :O Amazing.

  • moonlitcat is right they would show aggression to everything if they werent happy they let the most famouse whale go,kieko,and he died. do you want another whale to die? ,no.

  • thats so cute she had a little baby

  • "BELIEVE" the best show I have every seen. I saw it twice this year in April 2008 and can't wait to see it again. I so wish I was 20 years younger and would do all that I could to become a trainer at Sea World or Discovery Cove!

  • is that keiko?

  • aah brings back memories of when i went to see this show! beautiful

  • guys, if you think about it, they probley would have broken out by now, plus if they really did hate it theyd rip there trainers to shreds by now. and im not joking. they dont whip them or anything or hit them.

  • I agree with you, imagine someone would do that with a human...

  • ummm.... thats not true

  • If these orcas thought of this as abuse they would rip the trainers to shreds.Think about it.

  • Every intelligent creature adabts technics to survive in captivity. Cooperate or die is the creedo. Btw do you know how manny of them chooses to die? You really would be surprised!

  • Wow,Thats Strange.The Next Time I go Im Going to ask A Staff About that(Thats soon,About 2 Weeks) I mean,Its pretty strange if You Would Choose to die..If they choose to die,Would they refuse to eat?Because you can't just say I want to die and Die.

  • They not even need to stop eating for suizide, they just stop breathing. They are not atomaticly taking a breath like humans do.

    Just imagine they would automaticly take a breath while diving...

  • Then also ask them about the "accidents", lots of dolphins (including ORCAS)"accidently" crashing against the wales of the bassing, and they do it so often until they die too... of course just accidently...

  • Sporezi - next time ou will ask the staff!? How are you a visitor or are you a supporter of the wildlife?

    Do you realy believe that the staff will tell you the truth? How naiv you are, and because of those like you - are there a enorm number of animals in captivity just to please some visitors - shame on you!

  • Its just Interesting.I go there To support Wildlife,And Its an Interesting fact.And I don't have to do it. x-x So I won't because I love them,No doubt..

  • i went 2 see this and i cryed!!!!!!!11

  • umm.... why?

  • That's all so cute (:

  • wow

  • how long are orca's pregnant for

  • about 17 months

  • honestly they probably do like doing tricks cuz if they didnt they would have like bitten and killed them orca's are my fav animals and they are beautiful creatures and theres a myth saying if an orca really feels safe and good near you they will open their eye its rare if they do so yea wou'd be lucky if it happend to you i know i felt lucky when that happend to me !!~!!

  • i saw this happpen in san diego and i fainted

  • PLEASE DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO SINGS THE SONG THEY PLAY IN THE SHOW? if somebody know please let me knoww... post a comment or something... thanx

  • the killer whale giving birth is katina giving birth to nalani

  • This was great ^-^

  • giovannihanna shut the fuck up so what they must like doing it or they wouldn't do it they tricks for fish. like when the whhale kisses the girl it could of killed her but it didn't

  • Aw Nalanie was so cute when she was born.

  • Please don't encourage these kinds of shows, these animals are trained so their owners could make millions out of them. Encourage aquariums that provide ocean science and teach you ways how to save the ocean. You should make the best from the animals' presence in an aquarium, and that is learning how to save their habitats, the ocean and the earth.

  • omg the animals love doing this

  • I agree. Iam lucky to have somewhere like that in England called 'Living Coasts' It is a coastal zoo and conservation charity run in conjunction with Paignton Zoo. It protects and breeds endangered sea life, returning some to the wild when numbers permit. It is non profit making,and has educational projects for local school children to learn and understand about the animals habitats/problems being faced. I can provide a link if people PM me.

  • i live in orlando florida and i went there like 5 days after the baby whale was there and i got to see that video!!!!!! yay me!!!!!!!!

  • Noone mentioned Corky2 lost all seven of her babies, most of these babies are cired by Tillikum who came from the wild, he is no longer allowed with people b/c he was involved in two human deaths. Now they jerk him off and take his sperm to make more slaves to entertainment. But its cute, right? how sad.

  • They canceld the show afew days I was there lol then they had the baby distracted afew days later while the show went on XD

  • coooooooooool
