Ikaika (whale)

Ikaika (whale)

(mother), making him Katina's fifth calf.

Birth and shortly after

To decide the name of the new born whale a poll was taken. The following names were chosen to be on the poll: Ikaika (Hawaiian for "strong"), Mottaka (Icelandic for "reception"), Ramu (in honor of the late Ramu), Tsunami (Japanese for "tidal wave") and Ramius (after the Captain in "The Hunt for Red October"). Ikaika no longer lives at Seaworld Orlando, Florida but was transferred to Marineland (Ontario) Ontario, Canada on a breeding loan. His move was on November 18, 2006 in exchange for three male beluga whales - Juno, Aurek, and Klondike - whom joined Spooky within the Wild Arctic area.
