Takara

Takara is a 26-year-old orca living at SeaWorld San Antonio. She was born at SeaWorld San Diego to Kasatka and Kotar on July 9, 1991. She gave birth to her first calf, Kohana, on May 3, 2002 at the park. The sire was Tilikum via artificial insemination. On April 24, 2004, Takara and Kohana were sent to Florida, leaving the 12-year-old's mother, Kasatka, and her new son, Nakai at SeaWorld San Diego. Takara and Kohana were frequently grouped with Katina, Taku, Kalina, Ikaika, and Skyla at SeaWorld Orlando. Eventually, Takara became pregnant. On November 23, 2005, Takara gave birth to her second calf, Trua, sired by Taku. On February 13, 2006, Kohana and Skyla were sent to Loro Parque. Takara and Trua were then grouped with Tilikum, while Taima was kept with the rest of the pod. On February 5, 2009, Takara was sent to SeaWorld San Antonio, leaving Trua with Tilikum. She arrived during a difficulty pregnancy. On January 7, 2010, she gave birth to Sakari. Takara was announced pregnant again in August or September of 2011. In March of 2012, SeaWorld announced that she was no longer pregnant, and it can be assumed that she miscarried the calf. Five months later, SeaWorld announced that Takara was pregnant for the fifth time. She gave birth to Kamea on December 6, 2013. In March of 2016, SeaWorld announced that she is pregnant. On April 19, 2017, Takara gave birth to her sixth calf, a female named Kyara sired by Kyuquot. Sadly, Kyara passed away on July 24, 2017 from an infection, thought to be pnemonia.
