Shamu Christmas Miracles by SeaWorldParks on Flickr.
Kalina can be recognized by her very small oval-shaped eyepatches that have a point and rectangular edge near her eye. She also has two black freckles on her chin, one near the edge of her mouth and the other closer to her pectoral flippers. Her flukes had a very dark gray shading around the edges and her dorsal fin leaned slightly to the left.

Kalina was not acting normally in early October, and before they could begin treating her, Kalina died of Septicemia on October 4, 2010 at the age of 25.

Kalina never quite got along well with Kayla although she was often seen hanging out with Taima and her mom Katina. When Taima died, Kalina stepped in as a surrogate mother to Malia and helped to raise her.

Kalina was always known for her goofy personality. She loved to play games and interact with her trainers in the water. She was very gentle and very skilled with waterworks.

When she was “old enough” she was paraded around the SeaWorld parks to commemorate the accomplishment of her birth. During her stay at SeaWorld San Antonio, she met Kotar and despite her young age became pregnant.

Kalina is often referred to as the “Original Baby Shamu” because she was the first killer whale to be raised successfully under the care of man. She was born on September 26, 1985.
