Kasatka was one of the orcas that used to live at Sea World of Ohio :) Congratulations, Kasatka & baby!
Would it stand to reason then that Kasatka was pregnant when she was moved cross country from Ohio to California? That couldn't have been good for the baby...
From SeaWorld's own site....
The gestation period of a killer whale is about 17 months -- the longest known of all cetaceans. Pregnancies followed at the SeaWorld Adventure Parks have ranged from 15 to 18 months.
My bad, I was thinking of Shouka, the orca at SFWoA now at SFMW... Not the on from SWO now at SWSD... :) My fault...
