Corky is a female orca estimated to be around 34 years old. She is the second oldest orca in captivity today. She has had 7 unsuccessful pregnancies including 4 live births, 2 stillbirths, and 1 miscarriage. After her move from Marineland, California to Seaworld California, Corky had her last and final pregnancy, which ended in a miscarriage. Shorty after, she stopped ovulating at the age of 21. She is a very dependable animal, always giving her all. She has become the aunt of Orkid, a female who still lives with her, and Sumar, a male now living at Seaworld Ohio. Corky is easy to regonize by a chunk missing out of her left fluke.
