I found these old clips of Keiko from 1999 and put them together to make this video. In this video you can see Keiko at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. This 2 million gallon habitat served as Keiko’s rehabilitation tank. Keiko was released into the wild in his home waters of Iceland in the summer of 2002, but passed away in December of 2003. Keiko has inspired thousands of people to make a difference in the world, and his legacy will always live on. Clips via: krakkaruv.is • • • #orca #whale #orcawha

Keiko was taken from Iceland to perform for Marineland, in Ontario, Canada. Kiska, the orca that remains in this facility, was captured during this operation, too. Keiko struggled to adapt and the other orcas bullied him, so he was sent to Reino Aventura, amusement park in Mexico City for $350,000 USD.
