    I would say she should be released into the ocean but could she survive on her own? I don't know anything about captive killer whales released into the wild after being in captivity all their lives. Can they take up with a wild pod? Would she be accepted? Does anyone know? I'm just curious.

    • @forevernord
      @forevernord Před rokem +3

      There were cases of killer whales released. The first case was releasing young orcas that were held captive for only a few weeks. They successfully rejoined a pod and now thrive in the wild.
      There was another case. Keiko, a male orca, who was captured as a calf and raised by humans just like Lolita. He was 30 when they decided to rehabilitate and release him. He never joined a pod, never tried to hunt. He wanted to be around humans and always approached boats so that he could get the attention and free food he was used to. Some people suggested killing him for that. In the end, Keiko died from an illness, because there was no veterinary care in the ocean.
      Lolita is a different story. She's 20 years older than Keiko, but she has better health and a better chance if her rehabilitation is done right. She might survive.
      As for joining a pod, an old female is unlikely to be accepted.

    • @suzannalytle2758
      @suzannalytle2758 Před rokem +4

      The plan isn't to release her it's to retire her into a Sea Pen which is a netted enclosure with 24/7 human support. The nets will be large enough for small fish to swim in and out but not her and it would allow her to communicate and interact with her pod the L-pod. Now if she decides SHE wants to take the next step into the wild that could happen but it will be 100% up to her.

      @suzannalytle2758 Před rokem +5

      @@forevernord One big difference between her and Keiko is he was 2 when he was captured and she was 4 meaning she had the additional time to learn proper pod behavior and her pod's dialect. They never were completely sure which pod Keiko had been taken from either and they know for certain which pod she was taken from.

    The truth is moving her into the wild will kill her this is a death sentence for an animal that has been kept in captivity for over fifty some years she needs to be moved to a bigger tank you cannot release this animal into the wild she was lost her pod which is sad. These animals should never have been put in captivity in the first place but moving this one after so many years is a death that sentence for her and these people do not care.
