Two killer whales at SeaWorld Orlando are pregnant, with one due in a matter of weeks.
SeaWorld says it expects Taima, a 20-year-old orca, will give birth to her fourth calf later this month or in early June. And it says Katina, a 32-year-old orca, is expected to have her sixth calf in late October.
The father in both pregnancies is Tilikum, the 12,000-pound male orca who in February drowned a SeaWorld killer-whale trainer in a violent episode in front of park guests.
Should the births be successful, they would push the number of orcas at SeaWorld Orlando to 10. Orlando-based SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, which also operates parks in California and Texas, says it has had 26 successful killer-whale births in company history, beginning with Katina’s first calf in 1985.
