About
ShoukaShouka
was the first successful birth in Europe and the pride of MLF. She got
along with everyone at the park, despite her extremely dominant
personality. She spent most of her time with her father Kim II*.
When she
got older, trainers were worried that father and daughter could mate,
so it was decided to transfer the young orca to a park in the USA.
Shouka was owned by Six Flags; due to several purchases and sales of
parks, Shouka ended up in California, the former Marine World of
Africa.
She is an amazing performer, knows many tricks and puts all her energy
in behaviours. Although she was first trained for waterworks, trainers
do not enter the water with her, due to her extremely
moody and dominant
nature.
During her time at MLF she witnessed many orca births and cared for her siblings very well, which makes her the perfect candidate to breed and having calves on her own. But as of now there isn’t any male coming to her anytime soon. Kshamenk was supposed to join her in 2002; due to denied authorization to transfer him, those plans stopped, but were not given up.
