SeaWorld Shamu Show 1988 staring Corky, Kandu 5, and baby Orkid.

[@icedove101]

did people back then really think they where all "shamu"

[@caitlynkelly8859]

yeah. people still do. it's like little kids thinking all orcas are "Free Willy!" or all dolphins are "Flipper" they had no reason to believe otherwise.

[@eduardosantos9961]

They play shamu they’re not shamu

[@jj-wh7vm]

They brain washed me thinking that orcas were all called shamu

[@foxxyguy2681]

Whos here because the draw my life of Orkid

[@vibeofthee80s_]

Oh that’s right

Please don't tell me you support peta

[@immsr.5580]

God, I was probably one of the little kids in the audience of this video. I remember hearing that Kandu V died, and bawling my eyes out, being completely crushed at the news that Baby Shamu's (Orkid) mom died. Probably the only time I ever watched the news voluntarily as a child. I remember it being reported as an accident, but now, after watching Blackfish and reading Death at Seaworld, I know that it was more than just an accident and something much uglier. I, and all my family, will never go to SeaWorld again.

[@kitty55513]

imms r. Sadly, Kandu died due to an incident of attempting to rake Corky, showing dominance. Kandu missed Corky, ramming into a wall, and hitting an artery in her bottom jaw, causing her to bleed to death through her blowhole. Orkid was placed with Corky after Kandu died.

[@babyschafxy]

+imms r. You shouldn't believe everything Blackfish says. As well as you shouldn't believe everything Seaworld says. Like ThePhandomIsReal said: it was an accident. That would most likely not have happenend in the wild but still an accident.

[@immsr.5580]

The violence between Corky and Kandu was not an accident. The violence is a result of the stresses of captivity and the fact that they're from different pods from different parts of the world. I have done my research. I read Death at SeaWorld, as well as numerous scientific papers about Orcas after watching Blackfish. All my research just backed all the facts Blackfish presented, and highlighted the lies SeaWorld continues to spew.

[@babyschafxy]

By saying that it was in accident I mean: The violence itself not. But that she died was. For what I read she rammed into something else (walls?) instead of Corky because Corky moved or she missed or I do not know what reason. So in my opinion this counts as an accident. But as I wrote before: One that wouldn't have happenend in the wild. I started reading books now too (since I read everything available in the internet). Did you read Beneath the surface (John Hargrove)?

[@caitlynkelly8859]

the death of Kandu was caused by aggression. Orcas have killed each other in the wild before. Kandu was simply, a VERY defensive mother, and didn't have the best relationship with Corky. she tried to ram into Corky to get her away from Orkid and ended up hitting a wall. this is the ONLY time where a captive orca has died due to aggression. Corky has gone on to become a sort of foster mother to many whales. just a short list of these whales include: Orkid, Sumar, Splash, Ikaika, Keet, Kalia, Makani, Amaya, Shouka, Nakai, Takara, Kohana, Keet and several others. Corky often helps first-time mothers, almost like a baby-sitting service. she knows how to care for a calf, and has repeatedly helped newer mums during births, and even stepped in to take care of calves after mothers have not known how to care for them, and provided help. what happened to Kandu cannot be blamed on a single party, and cannot be called anything other than an accident.

[@dolphii9924]

Am I the only one who cried when Tilikum died?

[@jj-wh7vm]

Dolphii no

[@willianramos5650]

i too

The music takes me back to when I went in the summer of 89 with my family, i was 8 and I will never forget it. We still have footage of that sea world trip

[@FutureOrkidTrainer]

This is awesome Orkid looks so much like her mommy R.I.P Kandu :(

[@shawnakarrasch]

Thank you me92562!! It was a special time. Orkid will always be in my heart.

[@bryanh3772]

Corky be Strong I will free you soon👑👑👑

[@caitlynkelly8859]

Corky was from "A" Pod. all the orcas alive when Corky where captured have now died. Corky is 53 now. it's likely she wouldn't even survive being transported to the ocean.

[@lifeingeneral6986]

So the whales in Seaworld are not her family? Okay!

[@fornarnia2760]

Life In General Actually, she has an adoptive daughter who’s the baby you see here. She has an adopted grandson. So she has no family?

[@lifeingeneral6986]

BuddyxAmayaedits Exactly what I said, that pod has been with her for 30 years and We can just remove it from her

[@fornarnia2760]

I can't believe corky is been here since 1988 😥😥😥 so many years without freedom

[@spacebug30]

She been there for 53 years (she's 55yrs old) and is still happy and healthy :)

[@piranhateeth2791]

spacebug30 Corky actually hasn't lived here all her life, same with Ulises! She was captured and torn from her family back in the 60's (1980 for Ulises) and have lived their life in a tank ever since! :)

[@caitlynkelly8859]

holy cow, so many anti-SeaWorld comments. I'm just here for the rare footage of Kandu V and even rarer footage of young Orkid. she does look so much like her mum.

[@noor1hawr3]

Omg,Orkid had a very terrible life,Deep As HELL! I’m so sorry for Orkid! 😭🤧🤧

[@noor1hawr3]

He isn’t actually..his life was in danger..and his mom died Bc of force

[@helloo2631]

LOL THEY ACT SO NICE WHEN THEY ARE AROUND PEOPLE. WELL GUESS WHAT 39 ORCAS DIED THERE AND SOME ARE YOUNGE.

[@extravirginoliveoil4227]

Helloo *young

[@robloxseaworldstadiumsoffi9129]

It’s not their fault they failed to treat their conditions. They need to let the killer whales go when it’s time. They cannot let the orcas go because they are adapted to the environment they are at now.

[@salma-jm2ll]

I came from the draw my life :(

[@mirumiruondawall]

Orkid needs help

[@samanthaspsychiccabin8354]

I love how all of the anti-caps are misspelling words and/or orcas names

[@apd.93]

Well orcas aren't meant to have names in the first place, Seaworld is going to ran out of orcas and when that happens they're going to go after the poor belugas. Seaworld is a fucked up place, they hide stuff to the public, trainers are risking their life and orcas live as unhappy as an animal can get. I've seen orcas in the wild with their beautiful fins. This is sad and if you throw money for these shows then you don have any respect for these animals. And no, i am not an anti-cap, I just hate Seaworld (even after blackfish)

[@fornarnia2760]

Andrea Paz Well, then hello fellow human! I just took away your name! Also Southern Residents have names? Also just hating something, then badmouthing it is just wrong.

[@samanthaspsychiccabin8354]

Andrea Paz even wild orcas all have names. All of them. Literally every orca on this planet has named. So, yes. Orcas are supposed to have names. Also, orcas even give each other names, so if we completely eliminated the factor of humans, we would STILL have all orcas with names. SeaWorld isn’t going to go after any belugas, I don’t know if you’ve noticed since your head is so far up your ass, but they’re slowly developing into a them park. SeaWorld doesn’t hide stuff from the public, they just don’t announce everything they do. You guys claim they hide stuff when they don’t talk about stuff that was public news 30 years ago. That’s like me saying you’re hiding stuff because you didn’t text someone in your contacts when you were going to grab a donut from a bakery. The orcas at SeaWorld have better lives than most people in quarantine. And I’ve seen orcas in captivity with their beautiful fins! Are you saying all captive orcas have ugly fins? Dorsal fin discrimination is a serious issue buddy, how dare you? And this isn’t sad at all. What’s sad is your ignorance and lack of information. If I asked you to cite evidence you’d say “watch blackfish” or pull up an article from PETA.

[@shawnakarrasch]

@orkamad This was filmed in 1988 and was part of a TV special called Miracle Babies of Sea World. It was a Dick Clark Production and aired...maybe June 1989.

[@CarolinaMouse]

Shawna Karrasch I thought I recognize this video because somewhere how long my mini blank tapes of TV specials at my parents record it for me as a kid I think one of them has this same special on it so it's definitely ingrained in my memory

[@jassywilkinson700]

Wow didn't realize how small there cage is its so sad

[@OklahomaBabyG]

I love Corky! I actually got to play a game with her and feed her back in 1996!

[@emptyricebowl]

Nikkita Berg and she died because of the abuse she got in sea world

[@sean5520]

Savage Yoongi corky is still alive

[@sean5520]

Of course you got to feed her , otherwise she wouldn't perform, SeaWorld will deprive them of food so they will perform knowing they will atleast get some dead fish to snack on...Shame on SeaWorld

[@caitlynkelly8859]

Corky is alive and going strong at 53 this year (54 by the end of the year) and she doesn't preform just for food. she gets food because she preforms, but that's not the reason she's done it. there was a report a few years back (Don't know how reliable it is) of a Shamu show at San Diego that got cancelled because of bad weather. but the whales continued to do their show routine, even though the trainers had moved to the back pool. Corky and several other orcas have been noted to enjoy kind of doing their own thing, preforming when they don't have to and such. (look up Makani on KZbin. he was preforming without trainer command at only a year old)

[@defaultprod]

[@AnkhOrcaLover]

Amazing and rare video! R.I.P. Kandu 5

[@KingTriton1837]

The whale born on September 23rd is only thirteen days younger than me. We were born the same year!!!

[@Razzlewolfflight]

So weird how they use Kandu's real name, but still call Corky and Orkid by the stage name. Why not use all of their names...? Wouldn't that endear people to them more? SeaWorld never ceases to confuse me.

[@immsr.5580]

They'd probably call Kandu, Shamu as well, but it would confuse the kids.

[@caitlynkelly8859]

SeaWorld has various stage names. these include "Kandu, Shamu, Baby Shamu Namu and Kanduke" Kandu, of course, already has her stage name. it would be to confusing to remember all the other names

[@slovan01]

RIP candu and corky and orkids mom for shamming into corky

[@slovan01]

Slamming

[@lbabytutorials4852]

I love the vintage footage. It’s so sad that most these calves died. The sad thing is you have to wait almost 2 years for them to be worn just for them to die, what a waste. I loved seeing the babies jump with their moms! But everyone in the crowd really thinks shamu is still alive? LOL she died in the 60s correct?

[@christinawiesemann1425]

Omg wow! So nice to see a piece of SeaWorld history! This is awesome!

[@michellelopez3956]

Right

[@thegreatlagi9974]

Its torture. it is not cool

[@christinawiesemann1425]

Blah blah blah. Yadda yadda yadda. Can't you people ever say anything new?

[@thegreatlagi9974]

Christina Wiesemann Well it is old news that no orca has ever died of old age in SeaWorld. All have died from conditions and sicknesses or stress. It makes me sad that people don't see these creatures suffering. I hope you notice this. It may be SeaWorld history but its horrible.

[@kxkstudios1729]

The Great Lagi OK I'M LATE TO THIS I KNOW BUT I HAD TO SAY THIS uhhhhh every animal dies of sickness, old age is not a reason for death, there's a disease hidden within the animal, that eventually lashes out at any time... so yeah of course they die of illness how else does one become unhealthy? Not to mention we haven't kept orcas in captivity for a full lifespan yet, so as of right now 53 is the age they can live in captivity, held by Corky II in San Diego aka the one in this video lmao SORRY 6 MONTHS LATE I HAD TO GET THIS OUT XDDD

[@MegaDamon28]

YOU'RE THE BEST SHAMU!!!!

Nice! Do you know when this was recorded as in the month or date?

[@jaredbrown3249]

Orcas are beautiful

[@heidifoss532]

I remember Kandu.....

[@avto_zaika]

Why Kandu V did this 😭 It's good that Corky and Orkid are close.

[@nikkifernandez9913]

They are not held prisoner, most of them were sick and couldn't be returned to the wild. And ones born in captivity don't have the abilities to make it in the wild

[@nicolamullin1752]

What?? Being robbed from your mum isn't being sick! Being with family isn't being sick!

[@austinlooney6097]
