While attending the Shamu "Believe" show at SeaWorld in San Diego, CA Feb 17, 2010 we witnessed a pesky pelican become a toy (and snack) for the killer whales! Watch as the trainers try to scoot the pelican off the stage and it flies over the water and...well the rest is history! The action mostly takes place about 1 minute 45 seconds into the taping...enjoy!!

  • This is exactly what happened. Unfortunately, this time for the trainer. RIP.

    This is proof that they have a habit of plucking things from above the water and drowning it.

  • That is what I was thinking too...there is NO WAY I would let my child go anywhere near that tank...they used to let kids go up there to help the trainer do tricks with the whales. Can you imagine if a child was plucked off the side of the tank like that?? OMG!

  • I posted this video from the show that we saw at SeaWorld a week ago. I was shocked to hear the news that a trainer was killed today at SeaWorld in Orlando, FL. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this most difficult time.

  • people that make stupid comments should be put to sleep... they are just demonstrating an instinctive and natural behavior like any intelligent creature does... only humans can be arrogant enough to think they king of the animal world...

  • @lisascace @Buzzialdrin

    You both are so uneducated it's sad =/ Grabbing a natural food source and a trainer are different...

    The trainer incident was NOTHING like this. The whale that kileld Dawn is really the only aggressive orca in captivity. Seaworld acquired him knowing he was already invovled in past accidents.Trainers were never allowed in the water with him and barely touched him knowing his past. Dawn GOT IN THE WATER with him; they don't grab trainers. She got o comfortable.
