Introduction The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) has got to be arguably the most iconic and popular of all penguin species (or at least Antarctic/cold-weathered penguins). They have appeared in many media such as films like Happy Feet and Surf’s Up, then you have documentaries like March...

Can anyone identify the fish species in this video?; SeaWorld San Diego on Instagram: "Time for a turtle-y awesome timeline cleanse to help get you through the midweek slump. Remember to pause, breathe and just keep swimming #TurtleyAwesome #SeaWorldSanDiego #SeaTurtle #JustKeepSwimming...

I plan to visit San Antonio in the near future for its zoo, but since I saw that there is a SeaWorld there as well, I want to know how it compares to the others. Does it do anything better than SD and Orlando? How are the animal exhibits?

"A review of the number of captive belugas, the captive beluga infant mortality rates, and the death rates for adult captive belugas, along with the Aquarium’s own predictions, leads to the conclusion that beluga whales will cease to be displayed in United States aquariums and facilities soon...

...and also I guess Busch Gardens. And Animal Kingdom. And I suppose any other animal facilities in the area, but those three come to mind as they're always talked about when it comes to severe weather events like this one. Mostly Seaworld for the water-based nature of the animals. What is the...

Previous thread is here: Captive Orca Population Due to the old thread getting quite large, I have created a new thread to keep track of the Global Captive Killer Whale Population. The purpose of this thread is to document the births, deaths, and transfers of killer whales from facilities...

I'm here in the US and I collect zoo plushies of killer whales from non-US zoos and aquariums. My favorites are definitely those from the China/Japan/Hong Kong parks! Because I cannot access these parks nor their websites, I was wondering if anyone has any/the ability to ship me more orcas! If...

I started recreating SeaWorld San Diego in Planet Zoo a few days ago, a project I've been wanting to do for ages. I'm starting with Orca Encounter and adding to the whole park as I go along and I think it's coming out pretty nice so far! Here are a few snippets I took while working on some of...

I understand that this title may be controversial, but please read this with an open mind. Cetacean captivity is a controversial subject among the zoo community and many people on this site support cetacean captivity; however, I think it's still important for people in the zoo community to...

I found this research study which revealed that bottlenose dolphins live just as long or longer in American zoos and aquariums. I think the Dolphin Research Center (which looks after captive dolphins themselves) had a role in this study, so the research could be biased and therefore might not...

I really don't like people that keep portraying zoos as cruel prisons for animals (when they're not). Zoos are one of the most important types of facilities because they can help species that aren't doing good in the wild. PETA is a major example of this because they don't educate themselves on...

On the heels of former CEO Joel Manby's departure, it is clear that SeaWorld is once again plotting a new course for its future. What should the company do to reverse its declining attendance? Is the brand beyond saving?

SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. Announces Long-Term Investment by Zhonghong Group

I had to do research for a project on the causes of death of North American Commerson's dolphins, and I came across a strange one. Oreo's cause of death is listed as hypovolemic shock, yet she wasn't pregnant, which means she probably suffered a traumatic incident. Does anyone know what happened...

Sea World plans to import pilot whale. Cetabase - Cetacean News: Sep 25th, 2010 - Updated Information on Sea World California's Request to Import a Pilot Whale

I'm doing a paper over Orcas in captivity. Can I have some insightful opinions to put in my paper?

SeaWorld C.E.O. Hints at Overseas Ambitions SeaWorld had a promising debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, its stock opening at $30.56 a share, 13 percent above the initial public offering price, before closing at $33.52, or 24 percent higher. The company priced its shares at $27...

I like SeaWorld, but I see lots of criticism on SeaWorld. Do most zoochatters like or dislike it? Why?
