Kiska, Marineland’s lone killer whale and last captive orca in Canada, has died

Kiska, a killer whale at Marineland and the last captive orca in Canada – who has swam alone in her tank for more than a decade – has died.

The Ontario government said Marineland, a theme park in Niagara Falls, Ont., informed the province Thursday of her death.

The province had Animal Welfare Service officers at the park Friday as Marineland performed a necropsy on the animal, a spokesperson for the Ministry of the Solicitor General said.

The park told the Niagara Falls Review that the killer whale’s health declined recently “despite intensive interventions by her caregivers, Marineland’s veterinarian team, and international veterinarians with expertise in supporting the health and well-being of cetaceans.”
