Amaya was a 6-year-old female orca who was born in captivity at SeaWorld San Diego.
On the 2nd December 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 the 19th August 2021 from an unspecified gastrointestinal disease.
