Kyuquot

Kyuquot is a 32 year old male orca who lives at SeaWorld San Antonio. His mother is Haida 2 and his father is Tilikum. He was born on Christmas Eve 1991 at Sealand Victoria.

Kyuquot only lived here for a short amount of time. A trainer had fallen into the pool and drowned. Soon after, him, his parents, and another female all moved to SeaWorld parks. Kyuquot was very close to his mother, who died in 2001. 

He used to perform waterworks, though after several incidents, he was not allowed to anymore. Kyuquot is a very large male and can still do many athletic behaviors such as front flips. He is the largest orca at San Antonio, weighing over 9,000 pounds. He is a reliable whale and is most often grouped with Tuar, though he likes spending time with Takara and can be seen with any of his pod mates.

On April 19, 2017, Takara gave birth to Kyuquot's first calf. The calf was a female named Kyara. Kyara passed away on July 24, 2017 from an infection, thought to be pneumonia. Kyuquot had met his daughter before she passed.
