About Keto

Keto is a young adult male orca, who was known as a “punk” when he was younger. He was moved out from his birthplace in order to correct his bad habits. At SWC he was doing better, but he loved to play rough with the other orcas, especially with his brother Keet. After being moved several times in his short life, he finally ended up at SWT, where he spent the longest time of his life. He was very attached to Kayla and he even fought with Ky over her. In 2004 Keto was reunited with his brother and the two became really close.
Now at Loro Parque, he is the park’s best performer, knowing many spectacular tricks. He does most of the waterwork and is very gentle with his trainers. Keto is really attentive and gentle and never hurt any of his trainers.

  • Keto means "Sea Monster" in Greek
  • Pronunciation of Keto: KEE-toh
  • Blood Type: 75% Icelandic, 25% Nothern Resident
