Orca Encounter (Full Show) - SeaWorld San Diego - July 2, 2023
An incredible 4:00pm showing of Orca Encounter, featuring five whales (out of eight that live here)! This was a fitting show for a busy summer day, with many whales, many behaviors, and lots of splashing!
In particular, Keet did an above average number of high energy behaviors this show, so I have to give a shoutout to him! He truly earned the thumbnail of this video. See below for highlights:
0:05 Intro to Ecotypes and Adaptations with Orkid, Makani, Shouka, Kalia, and Keet, starting with Orkid’s center pec-up bow
- 0:46 Makani, Shouka, and Kalia bows! Makani was way ahead of them
- 1:25 Keet enters with a center belly breach
- 1:55 Orkid and Kalia rolling
- 3:26 Makani froggie at the slideout
- 3:45 Keet’s double pec wave followed immediately by Shouka sliding out
- 5:04 Orkid’s back breach, not pictured is Shouka’s on the other side, followed shortly by Makani and Kalia’s alien at the slideout
6:10 Communication starting with Keet’s froggie at the slideout with vocals
- 7:47 Keet’s side breach! He was actually supposed to this time (sometimes he offers a side breach instead of other high energy behaviors)!
- 8:17 Orkid and Kalia’s spyhops
9:24 Hunting starting with Orkid’s fluke splash zippers
- 9:46 Kalia’s tail whip and Keet’s flicker fast swim. It’s unusual for a crossover to happen with two separate behaviors like this!
- 10:48 Keet’s thrash slideout
- 11:44 This was just really cute! Keet asked to watch the screen and nodding while doing a froggie
- 12:35 Keet waving with his very curled flukes followed shortly by Kalia’s bows
14:02 Play to Care & Commitment tarting with Orkid’s thrash high jump, she also thrashes for the sighting bow!
- 14:32 Keet’s zippers
- 15:33 Keet, Orkid, and Kalia hulas at stage
- 16:49 Orkid then Keet’s shooters
-18:18 The show host introduces and interacts with Keet
- 20:15 Orkid’s side breaches then followed by Kalia’s vspin
- 21:23 Keet’s showstopper (thumbnail)
