SeaWorld’s Youngest Killer Whale Dead

    The last killer whale born in captivity at SeaWorld has died.

    FOX’s Chris Foster reports:

    Kyara was three months old. She’d been treated for an infection at SeaWorld San�Antonio, but got worse and died.

    She was conceived just before the company announced the end of its orca breeding program in March of last year: Gestation can last up to 18 months.�There will be an autopsy to determine why Kyrya died.

    SeaWorld has 22 orcas left at its parks in San�Antonio, Orlando, and San�Diego.

    The plan is for their performances to be phased out by 2019, with a program of more “natural orca encounters” for guests, going forward.
