Trua was
born on November 23rd 2005 at Seaworld Orlando and is the son of
Takara and Taku. Like most orcas he was born with the tail first and at birth
he measured 2.1 meters and weighed 158 kilograms. When Trua was about one year
old his father Taku was moved to Seaworld San Antonio where he unfortunately
passed away the following year and in the beginning of 2009 Trua’s mother
Takara was also moved to Seaworld San Antonio. Today the female orca Kayla is
taking care of Trua and Trua is a playful little orca that often plays with the
park’s visitors at the windows. Trua’s name is Icelandic and means “believe”.
The name was chosen because Seaworld Orlando’s orca show is called “Believe”.
