Featured image: In 1976, Marineland d’Antibes became the first amusement park in the world to purchase a wild-caught Icelandic orca. From 1970 to 1990, Marineland purchased eight wild-caught orcas: one from Canada, one from the United States, and six from Iceland. Over the years, Marineland’s breeding program produced six offspring. Moana, who was conceived through artificial insemination, was born on March 16, 2011. He died on October 17, 2023, at the age of 12. His mother Wikie is one of the last three surviving orcas at Marineland.
