captive orca profiles 2 kiska

KISKA is an 38 year old Icelandic female residing at Marineland of Canada, and the only orca residing there. She was captured in 1979 along with King, keiko Caren and a female who remained unnamed. Kiska and the female were sold to Marineland of Canada while King and Caren went to Kamogawa Sea World. The female was transferred to Kamogawa and died soon after. Kiska stayed at Marineland in King Waldorf Theatre and soon NootkaV, KanduVII, and Junior arrived. Junior died in 1994. Kiska gave birth to 3 healthy calves sired by KanduVII in King Waldorf Theatre: MLC-OO-B9202 in 1992, who drowned on October 25, 1992 (lived for 62 days), Kanuck in 1994, who died in 1998 of Candidiasis Traumatic Shock, and Nova in 1996, who died in 2001 of pneumonia and starvation. In 1998, a larger habitat called Friendship Cove was built for the orcas and they were transferred there. Kiska gave birth to Hudson in Friendship Cove in 1998. Hudson died in 2004 of meningitis. Kiska's last calf with KanduVII, Athena; who was her 1st daughter, was born in 2004. KanduVII died the next year on Christmas Eve. NootkaV was sent to be with Kiska and Athena, but she tried to steal Athena from Kiska since all her calves were deceased. Ikaika was brought to Marineland in 2006, and he and Athena got along very well despite being 2 years apart. Kiska was separated from Athena until NootkaV's death in 2008. During the time Kiska, Ike, and Athena spent together, trainers were thinking of resuming waterworks, though not in King Waldorf Theatre. Athena died in 2009 and Kiska was left with Ike. Ikaika moved to SeaWorld San Diego on November 13, 2011 leaving Kiska alone. Kiska spends the majority of her time floating listlessly on the surface of her tank, no company and no trainers around. Her teeth as you see in the picture are now nearly non existent all and all worn down. No recorded incidents
