At the Miami Seaquarium there is a killer whale named Lolita who was captured from her family 32 years ago and is the largest killer whale currently in captivity. There are many problems with this though.
a.)She is 22ft long and lives in a tank 20ft deep- Her tail scrapes the bottom when she spyhops
b.)She lives in the oldest, smallest, most run down tank in the U.S.
c.)She lives alone, and her only orca friend is an inflatable orca toy
d.)She has to perform shows daily-if she doesn't do tricks, she doesn't get fed

“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running
from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you.
I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.”
- Jack Kerouac; On The Road
