Between shows, Ulises is probably daydreaming about his youth, when he still felt flowing tides, was able to dive deeply, chase fish, and had NO barriers when he was swimming straight but unlimited Atlantic waters ahead of him. But it's still possible for him to return to his home waters like Keiko did. Just like Corky. And the othe dolphins, even though, they're captive born, can live a more natural life in the new whale sanctuary and finally be real dolphins and NOT demeaning circus clowns to idiot tourists.

Even if he HAD survived, eventually those monsters would have separated him and his mom for " social stability" as they call it and shipped him off to another marine prison park to breed more performers and sell tickets. Marine parks clearly know NOTHING about orca dolphin society or about their lifespans, hunting techniques, proper breeding age, or even that they have distinct dialects.

If Corky had not been captured, she would have enjoyed the same freedom as her sister Ripple, brother Fife, niece Midsummer, great-nephews Fern and Ne'nakw, great-niece Eliot, and cousin Surge. Instead of her younger sister being the matriarch, Corky would have taken on that role. Perhaps she would have children and grandchildren. Orcas possess a highly advanced limbic system and the most gyrified brain of any species. They are too intelligent to be kept in small tanks or forced to perform tricks for tourist entertainment.

After all that suffering in a tank, her being able to feel true seawater will help her recover, to rebuild her stamina, relearning to catch live salmon, echolocate, dive deeply, swim meaningful distances, and simply be a dolphin again like Keiko did. Wouldn't you agree?
