New Baby Killer Whale at SeaWorld

We went to SeaWorld yesterday afternoon for the Trick or Treat celebration. It was super crowded! We got there late, around 4:30. We headed to the trick or treat area first, then to the kid's area and then made our way to the shark area. By then it was 7:10pm, so we headed towards the Sky Tower. We heard an announcement ... "Shamu 7:30 show is cancelled" but no reason was given.
After what seemed like a forever of a wait, we finally get on the Tower. The lady working it told us that a Killer Whale was just born!!! Just minutes ago, and that is why it was cancelled. They haven't even made an announcement yet, so it was nice that she shared that exciting news with us.
With the tower going around, it was hard to capture the whales, but I was able to get a shot of the baby (10 mins old!!!) swimming next to the mom. I wish I could have gotten a cleaner shot, but it was still exciting to be there during this time and to be up above to see them swimming around the tank together.


Here's an article I found. Apparently the Mother is also the Mom of the whale that just died last monday. That was pretty sad.

I have more pictures of us later to post. See you then!
