About Nalani (SWF-OO-0601)

Nalani is the first surviving inbred orca calf in captivity as she is the result of Mother/Son mating. Currently she is doing pretty well. She is really active and joins her mother in shows doing many bows and other simple tricks. She also interacts with other orcas of the pod. Despite of her activeness she also shows signs of dependence on her mother.

For the first months after her birth, she had troubles to stay with trainers during shows. But she made progress and even does some behaviours on her own or with Kayla. Nalani is often seen performing alongside her playmates Trua and Malia.
