Seaworld has one too many Orcas in captivity! Regarding the dorsel find of killer whales? They are living creatures. And if this creature meaning myself can become depressed, sad, lonely, irritated, stressed, and show signs of the above. These Orcas will no doubt show signs as well. And I still believe that the collapse of their dorsel fins is simply on account of their emotions that they will encounter in captivity. I've been both free and incarcerated. And I've felt many emotions during both.
If u have a retainer or something u shiuld have someone else talk in your videos it sound like u got alot of spit in your mouth your videos are very informative but the soit sound is a no for me
No one is forcing you to watch a 6 year old video that was made by a literal child with a speech impediment. But if my voice really bothered you so much, you could of just clicked off, rather than leave a comment on more than half-decade old video about how annoying you find my disability!
In the wild it is caused by lack of calcium a few KWs only hunt sharks and only eat their livers which don’t have the calcium they need to maintain the rigidity of their dorsals
I've never heard of lack of calcium being suggested as a possible cause, do you have a source for that? While Port and Starboard famously have fully collapsed dorsal fins, and their dorsal fin collapse specifically may be tied to their diet, there are thousands of killer whales globally who have predominantly shark-based diets, and I don't believe those populations have been noted to have a higher rate of dorsal fin abnormalities. There are also plenty of whales from populations that eat primarily fish or marine mammals who have irregular dorsal fins. Again, I'd be very interested to see a source of calcium deficiency being a possible cause for dorsal fin collapse, it's certainly an intriguing theory!

Yea sure lemme just time travel back to 2019 to make sure I don't play with a slinky in front of a penguin for like 2 minutes. It's truly a heinous, heinous act I committed there. Can't believe the senior Penguin Keeper with over a decade of experience standing a few metres away and watching me do this didn't tell me to stop, and instead commented on how nice it was to see the animals engage with guests and show interest in novel visual stimuli.
@@fluffy7481 Because I've been arguing with idiots on the internet about the ethics of animal captivity for over a decade now and once you've heard "it's cruel to keep them in a cage. (I have no professional knowledge on the species and don't know anything that would require more than glancing at their Wikipedia article, and I got all my information about animal cruelty from PETA)" for the 20th time, it gets pretty fucking tiring. And for some fucking reason it's THIS video that's getting all the hate. Even though I've posted videos of captive dolphins, which is a much more devise topic, it's this fuckin' penguin that's got people who probably couldn't tell me what species it was if it wasn't in the title up in arms.
Not teasing. Humans are just as apart of nature as any animal. Theres absolutely no separation between us and nature. Gravity binds us all together to the earth. They're just studying its behavior. And they have a human right to discover, know, connect and play with nature. Just as the penguine is trying to discover, know, connect and play
That's actually a pretty good comparison. In the wild the dorsal fin kinda takes care of itself, but in captivity it can't and collapses. The only real difference is it being collapsed doesn't harm or really effect the whale in any way.
Question. I see a lot of people talking about dorsal fins, but not a lot talking about their tail fins. They curve a lot to, and it’s really sad. At first I thought they where doing it on purpose for a “look” but then I realized even when they weren’t performing, it was like that. Is it the same reason as the dorsal fins?
Yes, it's the same reason! Most adult males will have at least some curvature to their flukes - in the wild or in captivity - and it's just because the flukes also lack bones, and are pretty big. You'll sometimes get captive whales with really heavily curled flukes (Keet, for example) but most captive males just have a normal/natural level of fluke curvature.
Wes is talking about The Irwins second battle with Graham and it did not end well. In 2003 the day they moved Graham in here to the Crocoseum a flood hit Australia Zoo and almost washed out the fence. Crocodile Hunter and Wes went into Graham's lagoon behind the stands and started cleaning it out. Graham went from the gate to the fence and bit Wes on the butt and tried to rip his leg off. Crocodile Hunter climbed up on the fence, jumped on Graham, hit him with the club they use for safety, rammed the club into Graham's mouth and got Wes out of there. Wes climbed up on the fence and stood there as Crocodile Hunter got out. Graham got the last bite and it should stay that way. 20 times over the years The Irwins faced Graham and won and six times Graham got the better of them and two times the Irwins got bit and if they are not careful Graham will be attacking them. This age old battle of the Irwins vs Graham goes on each year at Australia Zoo on Steve Day to win in this battle The Irwins have to do six moves and Graham will try to counter them it is just like chess. The first is the lure out strike Rob does this one, the second one is land stalk Terri does this one while providing commentary, the third one is canal strike Rob does this one and this one he has to be very careful because if he slips up Graham will get him, fourth is tail walk Bindi does this one sometime Terri and Wes do it, fifth is tug of war Chandler, Rob, Toby, and Wes do this one the goal is to get Graham to roll and to win Graham or any of the other crocs need to beat Charlie's record which currently is 7 rolls, and the final move is the swim out they have to lure him back into the main pond and get him in the canal so he heads back home to his nest where Bindi Croc his wife is waiting. Monty came close to beating Charlie's record on Bindi's birthday with six and Murry when Rob faced him he did five. Graham currently has 6 rolls he needs to get 8 to beat Charlie.
Gudrun was known as the 'most beautiful whale in captivity.' She was named after the boat she was captured on. She lived in the Hafnarfjordur Aquarium and Dolfinarium Harderwijk before moving to Seaworld Orlando. There she met Kotar, Katina, Kalina, and Kanduke. Upon her arrival, Katina, the park's dominant female, was very aggressive with her. When then two females were in the main pool, Katina began to ram Gudrun. When Gudrun tried to retaliate by raking her, Katina smacked her tail flukes against Gudrun's lower jaw. The noise was reportedly so loud that it echoed through the stadium. Two of Gudrun's teeth were driven into the bone. Her teeth were removed by veterinarians. It would take several weeks before she could eat properly, and she was never able to properly close her mouth again. After her move, Gudrun was frequently put in a back pool with the park's adult male, Kanduke. He was reportedly very rough with her, chasing her around the pool to have sexual intercourse with her. She became pregnant shortly after arriving. 20 months after her arrival, on a stormy summer night in 1989, Gudrun gave birth to her first calf, a female named Taima. Taima was half Icelandic, half Transient. In 1990, Kanduke passed away. In January of 1992, SeaWorld brought in Tilikum. Tilikum and Gudrun got along very well, and Tilikum was a lot more gentle with Gudrun then Kanduke had been. Taima, Gudrun, and Tilikum were often kept together, and Gudrun and Taima were closer with Tilikum then many of the park's other females. Not long after his arrival, Gudrun became pregnant a second time. She gave birth to her second calf, another female named Nyar. Nyar had several birth defects, however. Trainers soon noticed that she was exhibiting strange behavior. She had mental and physical disabilities, and had trouble swimming. When Nyar was about a month old, Gudrun attempted to drown her. The two were separated. Only about a year after Nyar's birth, Gudrun became pregnant for a third time. She went into labor on February 21, 1996. Unfortunately, the veterinary staff could not find a heartbeat, and the calf was presumed dead. After hours of labor, Gudrun still had not given birth to the calf's body, and staff made the decision to pull the calf out with a winch. After they removed the body, Gudrun began to hemorrhage severely. She was likely in horrible pain. She didn't move or eat for days. Because she would not move to a shaded area, the staff put zinc oxide on her skin to protect her from sun burns. After four days of sitting motionless in the pool, she went to the gate separating her from Nyar and nuzzled her estranged daughter through the bars. She died a few hours later. Gudrun was mentioned in several books and internet websites, such as Death at Seaworld by David Kirby and Killer Whale Fandom. This in one of the rare videos dedicated to Gudrun. Thank you for keeping her memory alive.
