The killer whale named Kitty, nicknamed the loneliest in the world, died at the age of 47 in Marineland, Ontario, Canada. It has been reported New York Post.
“Marineland’s marine mammal care team has done everything for Kiska’s comfort and will mourn her death,” a spokesperson for the aquarium told the broadcast. The orca’s cause of death is unknown, but he said his aquarium health had deteriorated for several weeks.
Kitty was caught in the waters near Iceland in 1979 when she was three years old, along with another killer whale named Keiko.
For the past 12 years, killer whales have spent solitary in a separate aquarium swimming in circles, although they are considered highly social animals. The death of her five children at a young age has resulted in her being referred to by PETA as “the loneliest killer whale in the world”. In 2021, a video appeared on the network of a killer whale hitting its head and whole body against the walls of an aquarium.
In 2019, Canada passed a law banning captive whales and dolphins, but an exception was made for the aquarium in Ontario.
