Shamu

Shamu was a captive killer whale (orca) which appeared in shows at SeaWorld San Diego in the mid–late 1960s. She was the fourth killer whale ever captured, and the second female. She was captured in October 1965 and died in August 1971 after about six years in captivity. After her death, the name Shamu continued to be used in SeaWorld "Shamu" orca shows for different killer whales in different SeaWorld parks.
