Dominant Whales

Captive Killer Whales[]

The following is a list of all dominant killer whales in captivity. Each facility will have a list of the current and former dominant whale(s). Beside the name of the whale will be listed their years spent as dominant whale and why their place of dominant whale ended (separated, transferred out, etc). Please note that due to a lack of information, the complicated social structure of killer whales in captivity, and the frequency of social changes that may occur in certain facilities that this list is incomplete and may not be fully accurate.
