Amaya was a 6-year-old female orca who was born in captivity at SeaWorld San Diego.

On December 2, 2014 captive born female Kalia gave birth to her first calf; a female later named Amaya and possibly sired by the Icelandic male Ulises.

Due to Kalia having only been 9 years old when her pregnancy was announced, some controversy and intense criticism ensued and some began questioning what kind of a mother she would be at this age, as well as why SeaWorld had been artificially inseminating such a young orca.

Amaya died unexpectedly on August 19, 2021 from an unspecified gastrointestinal disease.
