Celebrating Amayas 2nd birthday at SeaWorld San Diego!

[@veronicavazquez7119]

I love that part where the trainer hides for Amaya

[@wolffle_yt]

I miss her so much :(

[@aquaislander94]

Sadly she's passed, just 6yrs old💔.

[@horse-lover68]

Wow, why?? What happened??

[@aquaislander94]

@@horse-lover68 what I've read is gastrointestinal disease. There was this rumour from a whistleblower worker (I think?) that it's due to a serious aggression when they've locked all orcas in the same pool for what ever reason.

[@horse-lover68]

@@aquaislander94 Sad only 6 years. She was almost a baby. How many orcas did die so young??

[@tuarstinky]

@@horse-lover68 ula died at the age of 2

[@horse-lover68]

@@tuarstinky And another orva who died young like all of your animals. Why is that?? Not one of them has reached their normal life span??

Happy birthday🎂 Amaya

[@horse-lover68]

Are you doing work IN the water with the orca's or is that really over??

[@LovelyLilDevilWings]

When Dawn from SeaWorld Orlando died because of Tilikum the Orca, they really and truly ended all waterwork sessions.

Happy 5th birthday Amaya

Does Amaya do the the bucket and fish what she wants can she do it

[@LovelyLilDevilWings]

It really depends on Amaya and what she feels like doing. In no way are they forcing her, or any of the other orcas in her pod, to do anything they dont WANT to do. Just like in her own healthcare, She was the one to decide what SHE wanted to do, and she was rewarded quite well when she did what was asked of her. If she didn't/did it wrong, the behavior would be ignored and they would give her a 3 second pause and if she came back to her trainer with a positive attitude, she would still be rewarded with whatever she wanted.

[@veronicavazquez7119]

How old do they start to. Learn to do tricks

[@horse-lover68]

Since the are born.

[@LovelyLilDevilWings]

It depends on the Orca itself. Once they are born, the mother and Calf will be allowed to take the time to bond/get to know each other and then the mom or the calf will be like "Oh, hey, I wanna interact with you, you're a lot of fun!" or whatever. Because Kalia has a strong relationship with her behaviorists, she was willing to allow them to interact with baby Amaya sooner. Kalia was nervous because this was her first and only calf, so her behaviorists blocked a section off of the underwater viewing so Kalia wouldnt get upset. Thankfully, her behavorists were still allowed to bond with Kalia AND little Amaya once she knew her baby wouldn't be harmed in any way.
