keikoisbetterthanyou: “A lot of people thought that he (Keiko) was probably not doing well, not thriving, and in fact the first pictures we took of him off the coast of Norway, he looked healthy, robust. In fact, it was 3 days later after that I finally got in the water to take a girth measurement, and he was, to the centimeter, what he had been before we took him out of the bay pen. So the caloric output, as I say, for that sort of effort to swim across the Atlantic, had he not been feeding for himself, there would have been a dramatic weight decrease, which would have been very obvious, and that just wasn’t the case.” - Colin Baird, Field Team Manager, Keiko Project, from “Keiko The Untold Story” -- source link
