About
Wikie
Wikie
is the second youngest orca and last calf
of Sharkan* and Kim II* at Marineland. Wikie is very
playful and sometimes comes to the
glass to 'watch' the guests.
She is also a really good performer and know
many signals.
She performs basic and complex behaviours, alone or with other orcas. Although she is trained for waterworks, she is rarely used. But she is really attentive and enjoys the trainers’ company.
Wikie was the youngest orca to be successfully AI'd in 2009 when Sea World and Marineland joined together in the mammoth task of overseas AI'ing of Orcas. After 4 attempts, Wikie conceived a calf sired by Ulises, a Sea World Male. On March 16, 2011 Wikie gave birth to a male calf, later named Moana. She has proven to be a good, caring mother since the birth.
