SeaWorld San Diego SeaWorld San Diego News

I believe they only have one right now, and the others are at the San Diego zoo.

There was also only 1 on exhibit when I was there this summer.
 
FWC said:
They had a pair of them on display, and after going through the large majority of the park both on and off exhibit it was the only pair I saw.

They did however, have a large set of aviaries behind the penguin building that I was un-able to look into, and they could have had all sorts of goodies in there.

Thanks for this information !
 
SeaWorld reports that they will launch a new night show at Shamu Stadium this summer at all three SeaWorld theme parks (San Diego, Orlando and San Antonio), retiring the old Shamu Rocks show.
 
My funtracker just arrived and explorer’s reef will open up early on March 22 for all seaworld members. The exhibit will feature “sharks, rays, crabs and friendly fish invite you to share their underwater world in glistening touch pools”.

The park will feature a new shamu night show called Light up the Night and an all new fireworks show.

They are also advertising Seaworlds new tv show SeaRescue which is available for download on iTunes.
 
Has anybody been to park this year and can tell me, if Seaworld has published a Book and or a Souvenier guidebook to their 50TH Years Anniversary ) There is nothing at the Onlinestore on the Homepage of Seaworld.I would be very interested in a Book to get more backgroud info to their history and of course, photographs.
 
I will be there this weekend, I will look for you. They have signs around the park showing what used to be there over the course of the history of the park.
 
I was at Seaworld Orlando in February, and although they had numerous signs and shirts and whatnot, I did not see any guidebooks or book at all about the 50th anniversary that I can recall
 
Ruby sounds like she was a sweetie. I was expecting them to say that Ferdinand had died. Once again I assume the wrong animal is having a major life event.
 
I don't think it has been mentioned elsewhere on the site, but Seaworld announced that their nine year old orca "Kalia" was expecting her first calf in December of this year.
Kalia was artificially and naturally inseminated. Park officials aren't sure which method worked.
They do know the father is Ulises, the park's oldest male killer whale at the age of 30-something.
There have been six successful killer whale births at SeaWorld San Diego since 1988. There have been 31 at all SeaWorld parks since 1985.

It should be mentioned that in terms of Seaworld's limited specimens, this calf is the first to be born at a SW park with Ulises as a sire.
His only other living calf living at Marineland Antibes.
 
Kalia's pregnancy was mentioned in the thread on the Blackfish bill. Most of the posters were not happy about it due to her age. This is significant. It will make the gene pool a little more diverse. Also, we will have a fourth generation captive born for the first time, if all goes well (and for her sake I hope it does).
 
How long have they been planning this? I like the idea (more room for them is better, make no mistake I am for this) but I would hate that they might be doing this just to placate anyone. Hopefully this isn't just a public relations move. Also, where are the residents of the current exhibit going to be kept during this? Will they be moved or will they be staying in place? It looks to me like they will be staying in place but you never know. This must mean they are confident that they won't lose their Killer Whales in the near future, otherwise they wouldn't be investing in this.

However I am very excited about his and I hope it comes to fruition.
 
They'll be kept in show tanks. It sounds like it's going to be quite cramped in there. I'm sure this is a P.R. move,but personally, I don't care. It gives them an opportunity to show they care about the orcas and it enriches their quality of life,and they're donating 10 million to orca conversation. Even if this isn't purely for public relations, it will reflect well on them.
