Corky’s 60th Birthday Celebration!! Orca Encounter at SeaWorld San Diego January 1, 2025 at 2 PM

The trainers prepared an extra special show just for Corky. The first 6 minutes of this video is the pre show where the trainers introduce themselves. On the screen they show a heartwarming tribute video made from some of her trainers that have known her the longest. I’m not sure there’s a more loved orca in the world than Corky. Happy birthday!
