Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 07:25:05 GMT

After more than 50 years, it looks like Lolita the orca whale will be heading back home to the Pacific Northwest.The arguably dangerous move from Virginia Key to a sanctuary off the Washington State Coast came after the killer whale showed a decline in her health last year, which led her to stop performing.

Now that her health is reportedly stable, a homecoming is possible for Lolita, also known as Toki. The killer whale was captured in the 1970s and has lived in a small enclosure at the seaquarium ever since. She is the second oldest orca to be held in captivity. “The takeover of the facility by the Dolphin Company, which has been willing to wo...
