Baby killer whale has a name!
A few weeks ago, we announced the contest SeaWorld Orlando was having to name the newest member of its family. The contest is over now and the name for the newest killer whale is Makaio, which is a Hawaiian term that means “a gift of God.” It has been reported that Mom, Katina, and the baby, who is now 3 months old are doing fine. This is the 16th killer whale to be born at Orlando attraction, SeaWorld Orlando.
