Unna is an 18 year old female orca who lives at SeaWorld San Antonio. Her father is Tilikum and her mother is Katina. She was born on December 27, 1996 at SeaWorld Orlando.
Growing up, Unna spent a lot of time with Katina, Kalina, Taku and Tuar. Several births took place as Unna was growing up in Orlando, and after Ikaika was born in 2002, she was often by her mother's side assisting her. Several months after his birth though, she was transferred to Texas where she has remained since.

In 2006, Unna gave birth to a stillborn female calf. The calf may have been inbred since she only lived with relatives at the time, unless she had been artificially inseminated. The father has never been announced. Unna has not been pregnant since but often cares for her younger half sister Sakari, who was born in 2010. Unna has done very well with Sakari. She can often be seen with Takara and her newest calf Kamea as well. Since Takara arrived in 2009, Unna is kept separated from the males when she is cycling.
Unna enjoys spending time with Takara and acts as an "auntie" to Takara's calves. Unna met Sakari at two weeks old and after less than a day, Takara was allowing Unna and Sakari to interact with each other.
Unna is a dominant orca, and will put the less dominant orcas in their place. Unna performed waterworks before they were stopped in 2010 and she has never shown aggression towards her trainers.
