Ikaika the Killer Whale Gets Some Love at Marineland

In response to my other video 'Orca Cries For Attention!', Ikaika finally gets his trainers to come over and give him some pets. And oh boy did he love it. He stated whining when they stopped and followed them around the wall!

Marineland, Niagara Falls, Canada.

Apologies for the poor zoom. Make sure to view in HD. Eventually I went closer but I was taking photos instead of video. Apologies also for the background chatter. I was going to take it out but you can sort of hear the trainers talking and laughing with him.

I love his dorsal fin tbh - question do you let people use any of your footage?

[bubblywums]

Sorry, but no on the footage. I'd rather just keep it here. :)

Well he is only one of the two killer whales at Marineland. He's bound to get love alot , along with Kiska.

Oh of course, he gets TONS of pets, both of them do! And they love it. Ike loves to get his flukes and pectoral flippers rubbed while Kiska seems to prefer getting her face and tongue rubbed (as a bystander that's what I've noticed).

Aww, killer whales are so spoiled :)

[bubblywums]

They most certainly are!

Happy birthday Ikaika!

Aww, Ike is so cute :)

What I meant to say was zoom, I only had a 105mm lens and was shooting from across the pool so it's not very close! But I'm glad you like it anyways. :)

Aw. I actually think you got a pretty good angle there. You can see all of it.
