  • Believe it or not, a "killer whale" (which is actually called an "orca"), ISN'T a whale. It's actually the world's largest DOLPHIN.

  • I think this is Kandu v :)

  • 1) Because of the relative youth of most captive whales, the roots of many of their teeth are immature, which makes a root canal procedure impossible. Instead, using a variable speed drill, trainers drill holes through the pulp and into the jaw via an endodontic procedure called a modified “pulpotomy.”

  • 2) This is an uncomfortable husbandry procedure for the whales, which have been observed refusing to participate by sinking down into the water, shuddering, or splitting from their keepers. After “tooth drilling” is complete, trainers must irrigate (flush) the bored out teeth two-three times each day, for the rest of the orca’s life, to prevent abscess, bacteremia, and sepsis.- Dr. J.Jett / Dr. J. Ventre - 2011.

  • That whale is gorgeous

  • Those teeth are for capturing prey only, not for chewing.

  • @mrsdancingqueen0 There is no recorded case of a wild killer whale preying on a human being.

  • Aww Thats Cute

  • I think the whale looks happy because he gets his dental work done for free, and because he won't get his teeth drilled, or frozen, etc. I'm feeling a bit jealous.

  • @mrsdancingqueen0 It should be euthanized.
