Ulises (orca)

Ulises (also spelled Ulysses) (born c. 1977) is a male orca who lives at SeaWorld San Diego in California.

[1] After spending around a month in Iceland, Ulises was sold to a private zoological company in Tarragona, Spain, Río León Safari.

Zoo Barcelona decided in November 1992 to send him to SeaWorld San Diego for a number of years while a new, larger tank could be built.

[4] Ulises was the largest orca at SeaWorld San Diego until Ikaika surpassed him in size in late 2021.

[4] On 16 March 2011, Wikie at Marineland of Antibes gave birth to a calf, a male named Moana sired by Ulises through artificial insemination.
