Lolita lives in the smallest tank at  the Miami Seaquarium in the United States of America ~  4 body lengths long and 20 feet (6.1 metres) deep. This is where she has lived for over 50 years! Marine mammal experts have proposed a very sound and well-supported plan for Lolita.  See detail on this link https://bit.ly/3qgOEJm 

Women of the World united against Taiji in collaboration with Peggy Oki's Origami Whales Project are working towards Lolita's retirement from the entertainment industry.

Lolita, also known as Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut and Tokitae is a captive killer whale who has lived at the Miami Seaquarium since September 24, 1970, she was born in 1964 and was captured from the wild on August 8, 1970 in Penn Cove, Washington when she was approximately four years old . She is the second oldest killer whale in captivity behind Corky at Sea World San Diego.

Lolita is approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) long and 7,000 pounds and she resides in a tiny tank that is only 35 feet (11 m) wide from the front wall to the slide-out barrier. It is 20 feet (6.1 m) deep at the deepest point and a mere 12 feet (3.7 m) deep around the edges.

In the wild an Orca can swim on average 75 miles per day, They dive 100 to 500 feet, several times a day, every day. They forage for food and have a very varied diet. Lolita is a solitary Orca yet in the wild Orcas are social animals, spending their lives in groups or pods where they hunt together and share responsibility for raising their young and taking care of the sick or injured.

Orcas are a highly intelligent species yet Lolita has been denied the natural stimulus of the wild for almost 51 years. 51 long years going around and around in a tank, it must be truly unbearable.

Please join us to raise awareness of her plight, we owe it to her to continue to fight for her.
