Tuar

Tuar

Tuar is a male captive orca, currently living at SeaWorld San Antonio, Texas. He was born on June 22, 1999 At SeaWorld Orlando, Florida. His mother is Kalina and his father Tillikum.

Tuar was born in the show tank of the Shamu Stadium in the middle of the afternoon. Tuar quickly became friends with Tekoa, born one year later and who has been attacked by his own mother. He also became close to Unna, his aunt. Tuar had the same personnality as most young orcas had: playful, active and ready to learn new tricks. On February 9, 2004, his mother gave birth again to a female, Skyla but just 3 months later, he was transferred to SeaWorld Texas along with his friend and half brother Tekoa. There, he finally met his 2 half brothers, Keet and Keto.

Tuar today

Tuar is healthy and a reliable performer at SWT. He lives with three other orcas; Unna, the dominant female of the park, Kyuquet, the dominant male, and Keet. Tuar along with his half brother Keet are used as "starter whales" for newcomer trainers. Tuar at one point was introduced to Halyn, but he tended to play rough with the young calf, and now are not seen with each other since Halyn pasted away. Tuar is around third in the SWT dominance chain, below Unna and Kyuquet, but above Keet and Halyn. He is seen frequently in shows.
