He arrived, I think, in 1992.

I was at Whale and Dolphin Stadium when he arrived.

And he's twice as large as the next animal in the facility.

The guy is right at about 12,000 pounds.

That's ... that's incredible. He looks fantastic.

When Tilikum arrived at SeaWorld, he was attacked viciously, repeatedly by Katina and others.

In the wild, it's a very matriarchal society.

Male whales are kept at the perimeter.

In captivity, the animals are squeezed into very close proximity.

Tilikum, the poor guy is so large, he couldn't get away because he just is not as mobile relative to the smaller and more agile females.
