How many shamus have there been?

Answer 1

There has only been one Shamu in the SeaWorld history. The original Shamu died 7/9/71. Since then, there has been no new "Shamu."

The three SeaWorld parks claim every whale there to be "Shamu"

SeaWorld San Diego:

Corky2

Kasatka

Ulises

Orkid

Sumar

Nakai

Kalia

SeaWorld Orlando:

Katina

Tillikum

Kalina

Kayla

Taima

Takara

Trua

Nalanie

Malia

SeaWorld San Antonio:

Kyoquot

Keet

Unna

Tuar

Halyn

Those are the names of all the orcas at the 3 SeaWorld parks :) I wish the original Shamu was still alive, but sadly she only survived 6 years in captivity.

Corky 2 (my fav orca! lol!), located at SeaWorld San Diego, is the oldest orca in captivity alive. She is considered the "Shamu" to all three parks, because she acts like the original Shamu.

"Shamu" is now just a stage name at the "Shamu" shows
