SeaWorld Orlando - Taima, Newborn Malia & Tilikum (March 2007) 

Who else misses Tilikum

They will both always be my number 1s. Taima represented beauty and grace and all things good for Tili too! Malia carries their legacy :,))

I miss him also

3:58 Is when we see Dawn. Also, I was born the same year as Malia, in fact, I'm only three days older than her. So I think that's very cool. Now Tilikum and Taima already had a very strong bond together so it's very clear that even though during the moment, Taima is being protective, it is all totally normal. This happens in the wild with all animals. Now if it was Katina in the pool, I highly doubt he would've come out at all. I still think it was a little dumb that they were trying to force Tilikum into the pool with them. But it could've been worse. Props to the trainers who recommended that they stop the music.I bet Dawn was the one who told them to because I just have a feeling. I also like how the male trainer explained everything so that was good. I'm glad this all ended well and that Tilikum was able to meet his daughter. Tilikum's met all of his kids born at Orlando, but probably not as soon as with Taima's babies because Taima trusts him and loves him. ❤

What an incredible experience for that audience. And thank you for sharing it. This is behavior that would be difficult to document in their natural environment and extremely rare to witness it in person. Wow. And it’s bittersweet to see Brancheau working with the whales that she knew and loved and that knew and trusted her. Even Tilikum. Sweet Malia is still with us, though.

R.I.P Taima But Congrats You Gave Birth To Malia

They say they care, but yet they sell this captive born family member to another park. They should all be arrested for breaking laws against nature.

And this day Malia is the one left carrying the legacy of both of them. Also if that was Katina, Tilikum would've not come out regardless.

Poor tili prolly doesn’t have good memories of how the female whales treated him in his younger days… he’s 2x bigger than the mom , yet he still follows her lead and she’s in charge . That’s amazing

Wait is that Dawn, the lady that got killed? And wasn’t it Tilikum that did it? Didn’t he kill like 3 people? Makes it super eerie to watch knowing what happened.

the lack of knowledge from biased anti caps here blows my mind

You can really see how close tilikum and taima were I dont think katina or the other females would of tolerated that so young I dont even think he met most of his calves born or who had lives at Orlando who were young calves when they met him I think the only young calves of his who had met him were taku unna and malia he met trua as calf I do wonder if he ever met tuar ikaika skyla and kohana I've seen old footage of him performing with young keto

rip tilikum

No. He was miserable and I am glad he is at peace ❤️🙏

OH MY GOSH THIS FOOTAGE IS PERFECT. May I use with credit???

Omg rip dawn she was there

Lia's almost like a carbon copy of her mom, they look so similar!

awww só cute beby Malia 😄😄😄

3:47 that is Katina on the screen…

Poor Tilikum, as a baby he was kidnapped, then bullied, then depressed and confused and so lonely😔

Dont forgot about these whales got a time-line like ur favorite video game. Each 1 is an individual,

This is so beautiful, Taima was such a beautiful whale and so was Tilly ♥️💔. I don't edit at the moment but would I be able to use this in future??

that's so cool! malia's birthday is a day before my brother's! and about two months after mine! (just thought id share lol)

Big poppa! Poor tamia she died giving birth

What a horrible life these poor creatures live. I'm sorry for what humans have done to you. My heart breaks for you all.

Rip Dawn

Poor Tilikum he's like " if i start shamuing then the wifey is gonna kick my arse! "

Dawn and tai🥺 could I use this for future edits?

Awh Dawn.May i repost with credit?

This is perfect footage may I use this in future edits?

Hi! im going to use some of this fottage if you do not mind. Hope your gonna love the edit im going to make :)

I miss the breeding program sooooo much!!!!!

I just figured out a whale had the same name as mine 😂❤

Wow. Can I use? :DD

Was that Dawn?

May I please use your footage for edits?

#emptythetanks

Is it really the case that the two were so close? Like a family, so to speak?

May I use ? Credit will be given 🤗

Playing with nature unsure and inept

Wow how educational that show is!!!🤣🤣🤣

Blackfish fans need to watch this, seaworld didn't force him with females that would harm him unlike the first place he was at. They treated their whales well. And also debunks their claims that they kept tilikum isolated during his entire stay at Seaworld. He was paired with Taima and they got along

Ahhh may I use?

12,000 lbs.........

Poor Tilikum, forcing him into a situation that was not wanted by the mom..shame on sea world!

Was kelly clark there?

Why did taima attacked tilly

Thought they were not aloud to breed these orcas anymore?!

the fact everything they say to the audience is false lol,,,,so much for "educating" ppl. the whales deserve to be free in the ocean where they belong. they dont deserve this.

Many I use this

I hate the fact they say the whales r in charge and let them do their thing. But then again keep forcing them against what their nature does in their world. For a freaking show!!! Just open the pins and let them sort it out as they will obviously she went n the back and wasnt ready how she was swimming and left. Geez just quit trying to sounds like u know what they mean it's their world not urs

Poor Tili... they should have brought out other Orcas!

Là c'est beau, ils vont enlever le bébé à sa mère très très tôt. C'est horrible!

watch the film BLACK FISCH .... and you will know what is behind all this ..............SHAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
