Anyhow....if the gentleman who recorded the video reads this...could you please find a way to post it here on youtube? I was pregnant with my 22 yr old at the time, had no clue I was 4 mos pregnant, but I have always told her she swam with dolphins before she was born. It would be most noble of you! :)

Mysteriously there were two bomb threats on Marineland requiring them to close the park a month early. Yet the Palos Verdes Police department NEVER received a call regarding the threats. I was heart broke to hear that Echo (a mother dolphin still nursing her calf) had been transported in a tank with sharks to SeaWord SD and died along the way. Will always love Billy. In protest of the abrupt shut down, myself and friend and another lady jumped in the dolphin tank, where the video is.?????

Actually, Orky and Corky were NEVER sent to separate parks. They both went to Sea World San Diego together, and Orky stayed there for the rest of his life. He survived there for almost two years.

Thanks for the correction. The Daily Breeze reported when the park was sold that Orky was sent to Ohio Sea World and Corky was sent to SD Sea World. That's where I got my information from. I later heard of his death from the same local newspaper.
