One Ocean (Front row with Tilikum) Aug.13, 2015 - SeaWorld Orlando

[@xkeiraa6248]

Rip buddy, your free from this cruel world

[@stephaniepotterart]

Thank you for taping Tilikum and I love the close-ups on their eyes. It’s a way to feel more connected to these amazing Orcas! Thank you! 😊

[@Tilikum16]

Thank you for watching it’s my favorite part of their “face” they are just amazing, the way they look and of course the way they do things….

[@lisapecaskie4333]

RIP Tilikum💞💞💞💞🐳You are Free Now💞💞💞

[@rebornsnuzzles2573]

RIP, Tilikum. You are no longer a commodity for human consumption. Be free, as you were always intended to be.

[@owensaviation2856]

Rest in peace Tilikum, he sadly passed today (6/1/17-U.K.) (1/6/17-U.S.). We will miss you so much and we all love you, rip❤️❤️

[@canadasweetie]

These Orcas are so beautiful. My heart melts. They didn’t ask to be captive but they are and I believe most of the trainers love them very much. How could they not? I believe the trainers are caring for these animals the best they can.

[@seewdshakr]

9:52 those eyes...of sadness

[@jupiter9099]

Tilikum's life was overwhelmingly depressing. At least he's in a better place now.

[@christiebelawske6141]

Yes I agree Tilkium is in Tilkium Heaven he is definitely God's angel 😇

[@apwrg4350]

Be free and rest in peace sweet Tilly!

[@amberd8685]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dancehallgirl90]

rip tili u are free i wish u had the freedom that God wanted u to have while u were here

[@jjones1341]

Amazing, beautiful and bittersweet, all at the same time.

[@matthewsalinas5952]

I like your videos. I enjoy orca whale video with Tilikum.

[@SherrySaundersNC]

It's amazing how people speak and do not know what they are talking about. There's no sense saying anything about dawn, she lost her life doing her job. I have never personally felt the need to go to SeaWorld and pay money for something like this. These large killer whales are very intelligent -- but these people have to realize that are WILD and they are NOT meant to be kept like this. You never know how a Whale is going to react specially if they get under stress. So these type of things happening should never surprise anyone with some common sense. "It's GOING to take people standing their ground, and stop paying their hard earn money for this crazy stuff". How many more need to die in the name of Entertainment...

[@Janinadruskus]

I am really overwhelmed by all these great videos. Awesome. How do you manage to be at so many shows. Absolutely impressive and great. Which of the living whales is your favorite?

[@Tilikum16]

It’s Kyuquot, of course

[@Janinadruskus]

@@Tilikum16 Because of its similarity with tilikum?

[@Tilikum16]

Yes

[@ForeverTilikumProduction1]

0:32 Kayla always had a pretty spit bow, corkscrew, etc.

[@weepingwillows21]

Which one is Tilikum? Can anyone tell?

[@onesparkdancer2006]

The moment I first saw Tilikum I said, “ mom I know what I want to do with my life” I miss Tilikum so much he’s always going to be my baby boy😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@darkprose]

@ 9:47 Again, fantastic capture of the eye! Magnificent. @ 9:56 They seem capable of looking down and up without having to move their heads, like when Katina looks up and _behind_ her at the trainer. Extraordinary.

[@Tilikum16]

lol i love their eyes, and how it works, its awesome, i love seeing the folds of skin around the eyes as well, im sure almost the same way humans have.. .also i heard that they have some liquid substance that covers their eyes so they can see clearly underwater.... just amazing and beautiful animals.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Even knowing how horrific their lives are, it’s moving to see them so close.

[@Alice-nx7xd]

the first time i have seen their eyes. 😊😊😊

[@PhotoGalleryZEROcom]

If I have kids, I will take them to see wild animals. how beautiful they are, how hard their life in the wild, and we need to save their home and i will teach my kids, animals are not our toy and respect nature.

[@barneyandthewiggles]

Those eyes 🤯

[@suewilliams4555]

Love ❤️ you loads Tilikum RIP 🪦 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kasatkatheorca9890]

Aww kassy on the screen in the beginning

[@namuchildtake2]

Totally did not realize their eyes could move like that, that's awesome!

[@Tilikum16]

+namuchildtake2 i was amazed as well when i first saw it...

[@dimitristsekeris1821]

+Tilikum16 It looks like their eyeballs are fused into the euelids or something. Sperm whales are known to retract their eyeballs. I don't know what other toothed whales can do so.

[@creeter882]

they would die in the wild because alot of them were born in captivity and they've been under human care for a long time.

[@briantruckinglanders6375]

It's a self aware animal, of course they can move their eyes.

[@JeMaB]

Its so sad to hear the people cheering, "oohhhing" "Ahhhing". I would be sitting there crying. I feel so bad for these animals.

[@massagebroad]

JeMaRi when you are able to see one of these beautiful beings feet away from you, that's a memory some of those kids would never have. I saw Tilikum in the 90s, it was very amazing as a child and I remember kids being there from the inner city, some of those kids were so poor, they would never have a chance to see Orcas in their natural habitat. I know all we as adults see is a trained captive, but as a kid, we were dreamers.

[@ednasulejmanovic]

But why as a human do we feel like we're entitled to see the orca in the flesh? Yes, it's amazing and not something you see everyday, but we don't have to see it everyday, we're not entitled to see orcas pretending to kiss and shake their heads at the demand of a trainer. I'm from the UK, never seen an orca and although it would be an amazing memory, I'm not going to fund this type of cruelty by experiencing a "dream" for 25 minutes while these orcas live, breathe and die under the circumstances. It's not fair and everyone knows it isn't, using children's dreams as an excuse is exactly that - an excuse.

[@dimitristsekeris1821]

I see that today he was in a quite better mood. How often does he perform?

[@Tilikum16]

+Δημήτρης κάποιος it varies and most of my videos were from my last visit which was last year, i date all my videos, before he got sick, he would probably perform 3 of the 5 shows, since it was summer, but some days he wouldnt perform at all.

[@SMjerZgirl]

Love seeing video of the Titan of Splash. I miss Tili. Now Trua is so big! He looks like his grampy!

[@mr.burger9149]

R.I.P DE KING

[@jorgealvarado2037]

Rip keiko , best whale

[@keyurkulkarni906]

thnx bro!! ...any update about his health ?

[@Tilikum16]

+keyur kulkarni wish i was there, so no, i just hear my updates on the seaworldcares website and social media.

[@electrahh4764]

he dead now bro

[@elijahglasser1421]

Very excellent orca show

[@livewithapurpose5102]

My goodness what magnificent mammals...I hate captivity for these Orcas never the less i am amazed at their intelligence ...RIP Tilikum

[@wweeditsss22]

this is a different whale not Tilly cause Tilly only does the big splash at the end and when Tilly is in the water the light is red it was green and no one can be on the stage when Tilly is in the water

[@Tilikum16]

yes, you are right since i took this video on aug 13 2015. and keiko died dec 12 2003.....tilikum died jan 6 2017...yes you are very right.

[@wweeditsss22]

Tilikum16 if you loved Tilly you wouldn't go to SeaWorld but you did

[@Tilikum16]

yes i did, but you said its not tilly.

[@wweeditsss22]

Tilikum16 it's not

[@kxkstudios1729]

Nikki Sarinana That is Tilikum, or was, rip boy, the light on the stage is so trainers do not go on the main stage to give him rewards. That other stage is called a slide out, and its not a stage. Trainers are allowed to be on there. This is Tilikum, I don't know how one can say its not.... dorsal flopped to the left, curled flukes, dots on his left eye patch, the only big male at Sea world Orlando after Kandukes death....

[@themendonca.]

tilikum16, i miss the big guy! at least hes with dawn!

[@erikajohnston2006]

The zoom in on the eye 🥺💔💔💔 Rest In Peace Tilikum 💙

[@castlebrookstables4611]

holy crap…face to face with tilikum! is he your favorite whale? in guessing he is. sorry if its a dumb question

[@Tilikum16]

Yes lol

[@karas.7739]

Trua did a V-spin!!

[@amsqaud7882]

They really inspire me

[@Therealozzycook]

14:14 the song at is called "splash" but ngl i would've renamed it to "here comes tilly" because that part there it sounds like a neat entrance for a star like tilikum. RIP Bro

[@dorotkaz1987]

THIS IS SOOO HEART BREAKING !!!! YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE NOT HAPPY THERE, AND THOSE SMALL FISHES AS A REWARD? ...You should close this parks and use all those money to create a safe space for them around the island, with natural sea water...painful to watch !!!

[@roanokesunset74]

Whale Stickers Dude, watch the documentary Blackfish. It would probably be eye-opening for you.

[@himissgivemeperfectplease8318]

Notka67 I don’t see how they are not happy tbh in my eyes they look happy

[@barneyandthewiggles]

Man that was the best shot of the orcas eye!

[@Tilikum16]

i love it lol

[@lorizimmerman8679]

They are just happy to be out of holding pool. Don't care what anyone says this is abuse!

[@tobaccoy]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the first song (intro) is Malia, Trua, and Kayla. Correct?

[@Tilikum16]

i already wrote if for you on the description who performed in what segment...also which trainer they worked with...

[@ruqaiyah1412]

Watch blackfish you'll be able to realize what they go through :( set them free

[@owensaviation2856]

Rukaiya Shaikh black fish is full of lies

[@itchyladybug]

Owen Norbury you have no evidence to support your inexplicable comment.

[@EllenBreakingBad]

It's no lie that he was taken from his family at a young age, and placed with other whales who were not his community. It's true that they masturbated him to harvest his sperm! That's rape! They trained him for this with food. You perform, you eat. You don't, you go hungry. It's true that the pools in which he live are prisons, compared to the open ocean where he could have swam for many miles every day. It's true that he is responsible for the deaths of three people and that each of them are tragic, though Tili can't be blamed, given his stressful circumstances. I love seeing wildlife up close. But after learning more about whales in captivity, I will have to abstain from paying to see animals in these circumstances. It's clear that the trainers really love these whales and try their hardest to make them happy. But we've got to stop taking these intelligent, sensitive creatures out of the wild. We've got to stop breaking up their communities. It's no different that having your infant son ripped from your arms, placed with strangers, then enslaved.

[@ruqaiyah1412]

Owen Norbury I think you'll be happy now... He died.. go to seaworld encourage them it's so easy to kill them

[@owensaviation2856]

Emma Jones there is a lot A former trainer Samantha narrates a video of someone riding an orca and says it was her, it was actually a current trainer- Holly

[@Danishplayer2023]

I love Killer whales and i love Tilikum he is so cute and baetuful and very Big and i just Say the whales but be free.❤️😍💕😊😘😁👍😃👌😀😮😧

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

How old isbmy favorite female katina now ❤❤ love her

[@Tilikum16]

well a good guess would be 42 years old as she was wild caught, 1972.

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

Tilikum16 wow she's getting up there

[@Tilikum16]

yup, i start thinking about Corky whose about 53

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

Tilikum16 oh wow

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

Corky was the first shamu right?

[@badmingtonsunset1386]

when tillikum splashes u Wow

[@SavanahTheStirlingite]

He’s Massive but so cute

[@lexiismitth7681]

I will love to have that job

[@holyhoops16]

and seriously? they're still using him in shows after he ate Dawn? it just shows the level of greed the people of SeaWorld are actually on. it's mind blowing.

[@AllisonRichardsonSquared]

He didn't eat dawn at all.... He dragged her under, she was unharmed besides drowning.

[@itchyladybug]

You're incorrect. Watch the documentary Blackfish and see for yourself. She is dead. There is a 5k run for her, DB, Dream Big 5k.

[@nathal19791601]

Allison Neal Dawn Brancheau was scalped and missing her right arm! She was drowned and she was seriously beatten by Tillikum!

[@EllenBreakingBad]

She was missing and arm and was partially scalped. Her spinal cord was injured and she had multiple broken bones. Nobody seems to understand - or they won't dare explain - why Tili did this. It may have been her ponytail washed into his mouth, or he may have just snapped. It's tragic, and I don't blame this magnificent creature or Dawn, who loved him so much. These are horrible circumstances for whales. They look like they're having fun, but that's only because they don't eat unless they do what they're told.

[@mariacardenas4656]

That is completely wrong and probably taught by any PETA supporter or Blackfish. They are trained by positive reinforcement which states that they can decide if they want to perform or not the behaviors they are asked to do. There have been shows in which the orcas do not perform and the trainers explain what is happening. They are not derived from their food. Also, Tilikum needed to be in shows in order to be fit and to get exercised.

[@beautifulgudrun8802]

3:03 was that a thrash v-spin? impressive Trua, very impressive.

[@susananderegg3734]

RIP Tilikum. So sorry you went insane but your small small world made any other outcome impossible.

[@mia-rosematthews7560]

It's amazing how incredible these animals are and look at the big guy wow he's got massive it was nice to see him in a good mood

[@Tilikum16]

+Mia-Rose Matthews his first born Kyuquot, looks just like him, watch him on my SWT(SeaWorld San Antonio) Videos... hes got massive flippers as well. just like dad. wish they were together.

[@orphanaccount-l8r]

+Tilikum16 I wish they were together as well, but no park could support both of them they just eat so much.

[@funzini4277]

im firt comment!

[@trashfur1656]

Andrea Bowe i quess you forgot to turn the caps off

[@lbabytutorials4852]

Now that Tilly is gone who does the splashes!

[@Tilikum16]

Well now it’s all of them lol well mainly his grandson trua and his son makaio lol

[@forevernord]

What- they can move their eyes like that??? ._.

[@Tilikum16]

Yup! It’s amazing, they are just amazing !!!

[@SPDRED551]

Tilikum kinda reminds me of another orca named keiko, you know the one with the bent fin and the the 3 spots on him

[@Danishplayer2023]

Poor Tilikum love him.❤️😍😊💕

[@Burtons3ATLVideos]

I like this video 🤣😘😊

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

which whale does the break dance lol

[@Tilikum16]

no idea lol wish i knew

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

that's like my favorite part lol

[@kirayuhas2694]

If you're talking about the spin that was Trua :)

[@angelicashadowrain7989]

Yes that's my favorite thing it's cute lol

[@Irolka177]

This is actually slavery :O

[@javingreen4496]

The were one is horrible the trainers take too long to give the whale a signal or...they have the whales doing the same thing over and over again

[@emersonpablocalero9971]

Me gusta

[@yesicaromero7767]

I love orca

[@himissgivemeperfectplease8318]

Lmao when I saw the first killer whale/orca flip at 0:30 I shouted “ITS A BACKFULL” and then my sister thought I was watching tricking vids

[@DisHammerhand]

Trua's break dance with something to see. Tilikum was a magnificent whale.

[@amsqaud7882]

Somebody stole your video i saw.😯😝😡👍😂😢😣😒 oh well.good luck with that lol.that vid has around 1 million views.Better than yours

[@Tilikum16]

please tell me :) as doing that helps my channel, stealing/taking my videos doesnt, it isnt right either, if they want videos of orcas, fork out the dough, go buy a plane ticket, see them in the wild if not, go to SeaWorld...thanks!

[@chelseanaugler4546]

I wish SeaWorld would just let Tilikum go back to the ocean

[@creeter882]

you dont understand. alot of the orcas were born in captivity and either way they've been in human care for so long they wouldnt survive in the wild.

[@amsqaud7882]

But i love ur vid

[@aphroditewitch]

It is getting harder for me to tell Katina and Nalani apart. As Nalani gets bigger she just looks like a mini Katina.

[@Tilikum16]

+aphroditewitch its hard for me either ways... at least for now they are performing in groups.

[@Tilikum16]

+Ellie Fish this should be the same as the other SeaWorlds, i read somewhere that its about 50-55 degrees.

[@Jackson12341]

That’s not Tillikum

What are you talking about?

[@ms.kitkat4844]

+Samantha Wiseman But it's too late now because his pod is gone now there's no point to try now and he can't go in a new pod because he can die from the other orcas

[@ms.kitkat4844]

+Lps BriFilms and when I mean his pod is gone I mean they probably left the area they were found and went miles away

[@geocostello5928]

MrBadumtish your comment shows you are greatly uneducated. Everyone who knows about orcas knows one of the most basic facts. In the wild they swim up to 100 miles a day exploring, hunting and socialising while they do it. They can actually travel with speeds up to 30mph which is amazing! This tank is JUST like a bathtub for them. Don’t try to say otherwise.

[@SherrySaundersNC]

GEO + YOU ARE correct! It's amazing how people speak and do not know what they are talking about. There's no sense saying anything about dawn, she lost her life doing her job.

Great video . But dam whales do not french kiss 😂 how is that educational sea world 👎 Great video btw no hate against you

[@Tilikum16]

no hate taken lol they have actually changed the show as this was taken (2015), to Orca Encounter which is geared towards educating and going away from being a show...

[@girobuster]

That's good to hear ! I was just thinking about an interview I saw before I checked this video . It says we aim to show there natural behaviours. I was like when did they start french kissing 😂. Bare in mind I was totally cool with them salsa dancing 😂🙈

Unbelievable! killer whales!

[@lbabytutorials4852]

Wow! He died shortly after this! My favorite show was believe Tilly wasn’t a waterwork whale so they shouldn’t have stopped the show! One ocean I liked the music- orca encounter I hate 😡 they only changed it to shut PETA up

[@Tilikum16]

Well a year and a half after this to be exact

[@amsqaud7882]

No afense

[@paigeflynn9406]

Poor poor poor Tilly. Only used for big splash at end of the show. How can you not see the abuse of these animals are suffering. He is way to big for that tank especially with the other whales in there. RIP Tilly. #emptythetanks...#boycottseaworld

[@youngtruth5823]

Zoos, aquariums, and circuses are great places for the public to contact nature and teach us the importance of protecting the earth. Lots of animal rights activists failed to recognize that good institutions did lots of great things for animals, such as providing medical care, enough food, and breeding program. Lots of self claimed animal rights people only demonize those organizations, and I think it is very unfair for people working there. Lots of people working there has devoted themselves, and they do love their animals. Wild animals will die if they are sick, because no one will provide them medical care. And in lean times, lots of animals will die from dehydration and starvation. Animal rights activists failed to recognize nature is not a place free of violence. The killing in the wild is extremely excruciating for the prey. And if you had learned animal behavior, you will know some animals will kill to eliminate competition or out of hatred for other species. Elephants and African Buffaloes will kill lion cubs, because they hate them. Male lions and male tigers will kill Cubs they don't know in order to mate with females sooner. Most animals are definitely not free in the wild. They have territories, and they are confined to that place because their neighbors will fight with them if they move out. Lots of the fights are very violent and even bloody, such as the fight between large predators. Most animal rights activist portray the wild as a peaceful paradise. That is the biggest lie on earth. The jungle law will not sympathies animals in trouble. The weaker one will be bullied or even killed in the fight for survival. And nature is not free of human influence at all. Most wild places are constantly under the threat of human activities. Lots of endangered species were ruthlessly killed by poachers. Wild animals are constantly killed by local villagers in developing countries. Not only due to poaching, but also because of conflicts with human. Herbivores such as elephants were killed because they eat and stampede crops, while predators were killed because they kill livestocks and even humans. Living in the wild is not happy or safe at all. And it is very hard to survive under those threats. The theory of animal rights groups are not based on science. They are not true conservationists at all. They only exaggerate the darker side, but they failed to realize wild place is no better than the places they demonize. The true conservationists will stress the importance of protecting nature, habitat, and saving the endangered species. The efforts of animal rights activists are not on those important things to save nature. Lots of zoos and circuses actually have bred lots of endangered species, such as Asian elephants, tigers, pandas, etc. Scientifically speaking, those organizations are helping the future of animals. The animal rights activists can achieve none of that. They keep talking but they did nothing to save nature. It is a great pity that animal rights activists are demonizing institutions that not only truly help animals, and conducting research that deepening our understanding of animals and nature. Those institutions has not only entertained the public, but educated us getting more knowledge of nature and remind us the importance to value so many important things. Wake up, don't believe in fake science or illogical allegations made by radical people!

[@vermillion6805]

[@emilytaylor4042]
