Gender: MalePod: N/A (Mother was Nootka V)Place of Capture: Captive bornDate of Capture: Born December 18, 1999Age at Capture: Captive born On December 18, 1999, Icelandic female Nootka V gave birth to her fifth calf, a male sired by Kandu VII, at Marineland Ontario. Later known as Algonquin, he was the second calf to be born in the new tank complex known as Friendship Cove. Not long after, he bonded with his half-brother Hudson, who was just 1 year older than Algonquin. Algonquin was described as curious and people-oriented, which made him a rather poor performer. He preferred spending time interacting with guests through the underwater viewing windows as well as hunting sea gulls with Hudson. Unfortunately, he was reportedly found dead at the bottom of the tank on August 13, 2002. His official cause of death was due to a Twisted Intestine. x | x | x | x | x -- source link
