There are numerous videos that have been uploaded to YouTube of Makani purposefully beaching himself on the slideout and often just lying still.In December 2014, Kalia gave birth to her first calf named Amaya. Makani and Amaya seem to get along well and Makani can often be seen with Kalia and Amaya.Today, Makani is 2 years old and still lives with his mother at SeaWorld of California.x | x | x | x | x | x | x | x | x | x -- source link
