Facts and Figures

They did not get their first cetaceans until 1987. Orca Ocean in Loro Parque is a new complex that was built in 2005. Work was completed in February 2006 and on February 13 2006, four orcas from Seaworld (two from SWF, two from SWT) were transported to Loro Parque via a Boeing 747.  The water within Orca Ocean was apparently taken 65 m down in the Atlantic ocean.
