About Keto (SWF-OO-9501)
Keto is a young adult male orca, who was known as a “punk” when he was younger and he was moved out from his birthplace, Orlando, 3 ½ years after his birth in order to correct his bad habits. At San Diego he was doing better, but he loved to play rough with the other orcas, especially with his brother Keet.

His stay at San Diego was short because 9 months later, he was off to Ohio and then to San Antonio. He was very attached to Kayla and he even fought with Ky over her and 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 did most of the waterwork and was gentle with his trainers however sadly, he was involved in an incident where the trainer was drowned from being unconscous in 2009.

He is now nearly a full grown bull and has proven to be a breeder by fathering the his, and Spain's first calf, Adán.
