It has been five decades since Tokitae, also known as Lolita, was caught in the Pacific Ocean. The killer whale ended up in the Miami Seaquarium in the United States of America and remains there until today at the age of 56 years. Aquarium owners posted on social media this Thursday that the killer whale will be able to retire and be free.
“Lolita will receive the best possible care as the team works to make the move possible over the next 18 to 24 months,” Facebook said in a statement.
According to aquarists, this operation will not be cheap and not easy due to the state of health of the killer whale. Tokitae is the oldest orca in captivity in the world, and the water in the pool where she was kept caused her skin infections. The food, which was often rotten fish, led to intestinal problems.
In accordance with The keeper, The 56-year-old animal lived in the smallest killer whale aquarium in North America. Soon it will be delivered to Puget Sound, the Pacific Ocean, the waters of which belong to the US state of Washington.
