  About Kandy
Kandy was a adult female who was captured off the coast of British Columbia. She was kept with 3 other orcas at Pedder Bay whilst she waited for her transfer. Marineland Canada purchased her and she was immediately sent to the park.

The staff hoped that she would be a possible mate for their male, Kandu II*. She was named Kandy, which was probably derived from Kandu, the stage name for orcas at the park.

Sadly Kandy passed away after living 3 months in captivity.
