Dine with Shamu/the late baby Kyara - July 13, 2017 - SeaWorld San Antonio

[@TBONE_2004]

She looked so nice, just like her mom and dad. At least now, she's not in pain anymore, swimming with her grandpa Tilly in that big ocean in paradise. RIP Baby Kyara

[@alternaterikku]

so sad that little one is gone she was so special

[@Tilikum16]

she gave SWT hope, only to end up like this, truly devastating death.

[@ForeverKeiko]

The plushie clip was too sweet. Thank you so much for the upload and some clips of Kyara!

[@Tilikum16]

i know lol was so cute.....thank you for watching...:)

[@seaworld.photos]

I'm having such a hard time accepting Kyara's passing. It's so devastating. Thanks for sharing this wish us.

[@Tilikum16]

thank you for watching, thats why its there for, for everyone to watch and enjoy :) i know its hard, for me it was harder to accept Tilikums death as of course he was my favorite orca....for me im sad for Kyuquot, and everyone at seaworld, but he is there to continue her daughters and fathers legacy....

[@TBONE_2004]

Here's a question. How is Kyuquot doing? He's not suffering from depression over the loss of his daughter, is he? I recall he was very sad when his mother, Haida II, died back in 2001. Ky is such a majestic orca, and deserves his happiness. He and Takara both... Hey, here's an idea, how about lifting the breeding ban just once so they can try again? It would benefit both Ky and Takara's mental health as well!

[@seewdshakr]

7:43 aw that plush is SO CUTE X3 Kamea was like..."no...please no...Whales cant boogie like that!"

[@cetaceandream945]

I couldn't stop smiling when Shawn was shaking the big shamu doll XD

[@blueeyenightfury118]

RIP Kyara I'm glad that I got to see her just before she died😢

[@Tilikum16]

i wish all you guys were there as well, she was a blessing, short but sweet life....just thinking how she could have been growing up with her sisters, Sakari is slowly becoming more serious, compared to Kamea who still enjoys being a "baby" orca very playful....much like Amaya/Makani....

[@janegoldy6385]

So happy I got to see her as a baby.

[@Tilikum16]

wish she was still here with us though.. with her sisters...

[@richardvasoon3578]

It's really sad Kyara died. Did she ever got to meet her father Kyuquot before she passed away?

[@Tilikum16]

I heard that she did meet the entire pod but not sure .

[@ScousePets]

so sad about baby kyara I wish seaworld would end the ban it's not fair to stop something natural and I wish they would add another pool that had underwater viewing I think kamea and sakari would love it and I heard takara loved it

[@Tilikum16]

yeah i heard Takara loved interacting with people in the SUV while in SWC...

[@janegoldy6385]

Do they not have SUV at SWT?

[@cetaceandream945]

I wish I could of gotten to see Kyara

[@carloscabrera153]

Poor kyara she was too small, i hope another baby shamu in any seaworld park, thanks Tilikum 16 for this piece of gold

[@Tilikum16]

thank you for watching!!! i really thought at first the breeding ban was good, but now im really sad about it....most especially the very last one just lasted over 3 months....truly devastating to SW....

[@janegoldy6385]

I wish that they would be able to continue to let the orcas breed, just not using AI, and not encouraging it.

[@Kiryuu238]

SWT has such an interesting pool layout. I do like how the trainers here are more descriptive about the daily husbandry and care of the orcas. SWC they just say 'we feed them jello and kelp'. No further explanation. I need to start traveling and hitting the other parks up, hoping SWO this year maybe.

[@Tilikum16]

yes they do, prior to me coming in 2015, i had to review @seawolftheorca's videos as their main show pool is actually shaped like a whale, one of the trivia questions lol and also years back that dome top used to be see through which gave audience natural lighting for the orcas if youve seen old videos of SWT it looked different due to that...look it up, old pictures of Shamu Theater(not even called stadium unlike SWC or SWF) , now its dark and kind of murky.....one thing i dont like about SWC is Shamu stadium, you are baked in the sun alive(but tons of natural lighting) SWF would be my favorite, or used to since Tilikum lived there... now i think its SWT to due his first born son, Kyuquot...im so sorry, one of my pet peeves no offense to you lol but they used to call them by states SWC-SW of California, SWF- SW of Florida and SWT-SW of Texas SWO would have been SW of Ohio(which closed a while back), i do understand you meant SW Orlando if we go by cities lol no big deal :) and yes, its cheaper to fly all the way to Florida from California than flying to Texas, have no idea why, thats y i mostly go to Florida, other than Tilikum used to be there... forgot to ask or if i asked already whose ur favorite orca?

[@Kiryuu238]

Oh no my bad!I can definitely see the SWO to SWF confusion. I used to live in Pittsburgh and used to visit Geauga Lake and Seaworld Ohio as a kid (oh no I'm showing my age here). I guess because we foresaw the downfall of the park before the rest of the country I can see how it can still be confused. Its ashame too since it was a beautiful park, they spent a great deal keeping the gardens trimmed and was a treat to walk through. They also had a large Commersons Dolphin pool and I used to spend hours watching those little guys. I do know about the baking in the sun at San Diego, I'm pretty pale even though I live in Arizona, so anytime I go to San Diego I usually burn to a crisp. I travel a great deal for work and California is my most visited state, so I always make time to see the whales. I may have a trip coming up in the fall for Orlando so I'm trying my best to schedule in some Seaworld time. As for my favorite whale I would have to say it is Kasatka, with Ulises being a very close second. Its interesting to since it was Kayla I saw the most as a kid, but its always been Kasatka that I loved.

[@Tilikum16]

lol like i said no big deal lol just one of my pet peeves, lol im not big on showing my age either lol but i still love seeing the orcas, lol i love the big guys, and girls lol Tilikum, then Kyuquot, Ulises and Corky....did you have any videos of SWO lol ohio i mean? i have seen some, you seem to know the park well, it had two back pools right? no Shamu underwater Viewing too right? well hopefully you enjoy Orlando, take lots of videos!! lol thanks

[@Kiryuu238]

Tilikum16 sorry for the late reply, I've been in the road for business. Sadly I do not have any video, I have some pictures somewhere though. Should dig them out and scan them. Yes the stadium/pool setup was unusual, but I think it was because they had dolphins and orcas sharing the same space, I'm not sure if they ever had them in the same pool together. There was the large front show pool that was under a metal awning that covered even the stage, 2 visible side pools, and what appeared to be a auxiliary pool that was covered by blue mesh walls(I've always assumed this was a med pool area). So basically a large circle, split in half, with 3 partitions in the back. To my knowledge no under water viewing or dine with shamu. You could easily see into the side pools though, the concrete walls were quite low.

[@katiecooper1387]

I'm so glad you got to see Kyara. Were you able to see her between show times?

[@Tilikum16]

wish you guys were able to see her too, she was a tiny bundle of joy :) and no since only SWF does that, leave the stadium open, between shows, as im able to see neat training sessions at times, but SWT is the least visible in terms of orcas, as they dont have a SUV(Shamu Underwater Viewing) and no in between shows, SWC is the most exposed in my opinion... btw did you use to film at SWC? lol ur name looks familiar :)

[@katiecooper1387]

Nah, I just ask a lot of questions, so you might see me around KZbin. :) I've commented on your vids before. You post some great stuff. I've never been to SeaWorld, but if I did, it would definitely be SWC.

[@Tilikum16]

hmmm lol ok thanks for that, yea thats what i thought....well dont be a stranger, stranger lol(like what dory said )

[@katiecooper1387]

Gotta love Dory

[@tillytruavideography]

I saw the name Ally and immediately thought of Tilikum, My Angel XD

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

What happened to the baby?? I didnt know she just passed

[@Tilikum16]

they announced her name and gender last saturday and announced that she was sick.... she passed on last monday.

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

[@debbiesalcedo970]

[@kierankitchen7274]

[@lbabytutorials4852]

I’m heartbroken she died she looked so healthy and happy I’m heartbroken they stopped there breeding program

[@dyktw123gg4]

Good

[@seewdshakr]

7:40 just this n i melted

[@lbabytutorials4852]

Also online it said she died at 3 months not 3 years

[@Tilikum16]

That’s true, she did die only after 3 months, who said three years ? Everyone was heartbroken about that most especially the trainers… remember this was the last orca born to SeaWorld

[@joeholmes5807]

This make me wanna too watching free Willy fr fr

[@dyktw123gg4]

Hi

[@Danishplayer2023]

[@NanaNan1]

and since there breeding program supposedly ended with the death of the trainer in Orlando that caused OSHAs investigation it's amazing that at least 2 whales have been born.

[@orphanaccount-l8r]

Nan Borton The breeding program ended last year...I don't know what you're talking about with OSHA, they lifted those orders quite sometime ago and only implemented them in the Orlando park.

[@brthdygrl6]

I need baby orca in my life I am trying to butter up seaworld because I'm nine I want to sea these orca in 50 years

[@Phanatic24601]

Question: does anyone know why the killer whales wiggle their tongues? You can see it a few times in this video. Is it an anticipatory behavior?

[@NanaNan1]

I see how OSHA's ruling that BARRIERS are in place when trainers are working with the whales is being enforced! What a joke.

[@rosiewatson6994]

This is probably why she died. This is very stressful for mom and baby. Cortisol decreases the immune system's ability to respond, making her already weak immune system able to respond to pathogens.

[@aphroditewitch]

It has nothing to do with why she died. And shame on you for promoting false information.

[@LovelyLilDevilWings]

Where did you get this info?
