@@admissionand15adventuresno I just really love killer whales and so I know all of their names through research

[@admissionand15adventures]

@@admissionand15adventuresKandu is one my favorite vintage whale so it was nice to see her because it’s hard to see their personalities when they died long ago

80s SoCal kid here who very well might have been there for this show or very close to it. I definitely remember seeing “Baby Shamu” (Orkid), her mother Kandu and “Shamu”. The larger orca (AKA Shamu) is Corky. She’s been there for a very long time and is the oldest surviving orca in captivity currently. Sadly, Kandu (Kandu 5) was only around for about 13.5 months after this. 😢

Not baby Orkid getting stuck on the slide out while her mom was trying to help her and waited for her to get back in the water 😅😅 such a great mom she was ❤ RIP Kandu. If only she could see her grown daughter now.
