Lolita the killer whale News

Friday Harbor - Still reeling from over a decade of captures between 1962 to 1973, the Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW) populations face significant recovery issues. The carnage wreaked upon them by the "orca cowboys", is embodied by one solitary orca, Lolita.

Miami - Lolita, the sole killer whale at a Floridian marine park, received another boost last week as advocates held a last-minute rally to plead her case to Dateline, one of Australia's longest-running international current affairs programs.

Miami - Time is running out for a solitary orca held at Miami Seaquarium. Lolita, also called Tokitae, was one of the first whales in a brutal roundup that captured orcas for display in marine parks between 1965 and 1973.

Greenbank - Nearing the anniversary of the 1970 Penn Cove orca captures, the Orca Network plans to remember the orcas killed during the captures in 1970, and honor Lolita or Tokitae, the sole survivor who has been held at the Miami Seaquarium since 1970.
