Luke

Luke was a 14-year-old male beluga captured in Manitoba, Canada in 1987. He was transferred to SeaWorld San Diego in February of 1988, then again to SeaWorld Orlando on May 5, 1995. Luke was the only male present at the park, enabling him to become the primary breeder of the park once he turned 11. He sired calves to all three females he shared his pool with, before moving back to SeaWorld San Antonio in October of 1998. Luke sired three more calves to Kia, Martina, and Martha before his death. Luke's death left SeaWorld San Antonio without a male, though Nanuq would eventually arrive at the park in 2005 for three years.
