pygmy killer whale (Feresa attenuata)

Open for public viewing?

Nice shot

@drill : Appointment viewing only

@Luke da Zoo nerd : thanks so much!

Any chance of reintroduction or is it condemned to seaworld?

@DelacoursLangur They're certainly aiming for reintroduction. There is precedence as well- in 2015-16 IMMS was able to rehabilitate 2 pygmy killer whales over the course of 10 months and successfully released them on July 11, 2016!

@Giant Eland Have they tracked there survival at all? I'm all for reintroduction's if they show good survival rates. To clarify my comment above I am not opposed to all cetaceans in captivity, but the pair of false killer whales in the dolphin show isolation tanks at SDSW was pretty depressing and they have a spotty survival record not to mention an unsustainable captive population.

I know they put trackers on the 2 that were released and I believe they were still alive.

@Giant Eland Good to hear
