Gender: MalePod: N/APlace of Capture: Katsuura, Chiba, JapanDate of Capture: February 10, 2006Age at Capture: Approx. 3-4 years On February 10, 2006, a young male Orca was found stranded on a beach near Katsuura, Japan. He was apparently too weak to be pushed back out to sea, and was instead transferred to Kamogawa Sea World to receive care. He was severely underweight and had difficulty swimming, so staff had to work around the clock. Unfortunately, he died on February 13, 2006 due to unknown causes just 3 days after his stranding. x | x | x | x -- source link
