Killer Whale at SeaWorld in Texas Dies Oct 19, 2007
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A killer whale at the SeaWorld in San Antonio has died unexpectedly.
SeaWorld spokesman Fran Stephenson says Taku (tah-KU'), a 14-year-old male killer whale, died Wednesday night. Taku had been showing signs of infection for the three days before his death, but he was responding to treatment, Stephenson said.
A cause of death has not been determined. Results of an examination will be available in six weeks.
Stephenson said there is a wide disparity on estimates for the life expectancy of killer whales. --------------------------------------------- sorry I'm so late posting this!!
