[post_page_title]A Whale In A Captive Tank [/post_page_title]
While in captivity, Tilikum lived in a tank that was the equivalent to one day’s worth of swimming in the ocean. The tank he was held in is approximately 0.0001%, or one one-millionth, of the amount of water he’s able to cross in the wild. The average orca can swim up to 29 miles per hour. For Tilikum, he was never able to accelerate at high such a high speed while in his captive tank and therefore, never received the approximate amount of exercise a whale of his size should require.
