When Tilikum was in captivity he adopted what marine biologists call ‘stereotypy‘; this means that the orca would pace, swim, and rock back and forth in his tank (the minimal movement he could achieve while be watched by park visitors). The lack of space in these tanks often contributed to the collapse of the whales’ dorsal fins, which is not a common aging effect of the wild orca. In the past, SeaWorld has insisted that a collapsed dorsal fin is a natural occurrence in the life of an orca but in actuality, the result of a damaged fin is the scientific symptom of an unhealthy or malnourished whale.
