earth was a 16 year old icelandic orca who lived at the port of nagoya public aquarium. he was born in october 2008 at kamogawa sea world to lovey and oscar. earth’s younger sister, luna, was born in 2012 and the two were close. however, because earth would sometimes play too roughly with luna, lovey started displacing him. lovey’s aggression towards earth grew until earth was separated from the pod and moved to a back pool with oscar, who then passed away later that year. earth was briefly reunited with the pod, but was still met with aggression, so he was re-separated.

in 2015, earth was transferred to the port of nagoya public aquarium, where he lived with his grandmother stella, and stella’s daughter lynn. earth bonded with them but was increasingly separated from them as he grew, and would remain isolated for large portions of time, sometimes as much as a year. in 2024, stella was moved to kobe suma sea world, upon which lynn and earth were reunited.

during the summer of 2025, earth became lethargic, and soon passed away from an intestinal torsion. he’d been japan’s largest orca, and also japan’s last male orca. earth was known to be very gentle and had highly recognizable wavy, upturned flukes.

shouka is a 33 year old icelandic orca who lives at seaworld san diego. she was born to sharkane and kim II at marineland antibes in 1993, becoming the first orca calf to ever be successfully born in france. shouka was sharkane’s first calf, and soon gained three younger siblings: inouk, wikie, and half-brother valentin.

at nine years of age, shouka was transferred to six flags worlds of adventure in ohio. six flags had purchased seaworld ohio just a year before, and many of the same facilities and exhibits were kept, including the killer whale stadium.

in 2004, shouka was moved to six flags discovery kingdom in california. she had no orca companions here, only being housed with two bottlenose dolphins for nearly a decade until the dolphins were moved out due to shouka’s growing aggression. in july 2012 she lifted and threw a trainer out of the pool and onto the back of the stage. the next month, shouka was transferred to seaworld san diego. she bonded quickly with corky II and still lives at seaworld today, known for being able to mimic bottlenose dolphin calls and having upward-curving flukes.

L130 is a young calf between the ages of one and three months old. they are currently the youngest southern resident, and the second calf born to L pod this year. L130 was first seen on june 14th, 2026, swimming mainly alongside muncher, a 31 year old female. L130 was also seen associating with moonlight, surprise, and jade. L130’s sex and maternity are not certain, but if they are muncher’s calf, they would be muncher’s second calf and the younger sibling to magic, who was born eleven years prior.

L130 was described as being energetic and interacting with other orcas, while also being well-fed and having decent fat reserves, signs of health. with the high mortality rate of southern resident calves, L130’s birth is met with cautious optimism.
