History of Ky... Kyuquot was born at Sealand of the Pacific, on December 24th, 1991, to Haida II*. He was the first of many calves sired by Tilikum. Nootka IV served as “Auntie” at his birth. January 8, 1993, then he was moved to SeaWorld Texas. Hadia II was the dominant female and Kyuquot never had to worry about anything. But on August 1, 2001, Haida died of a brain abcess. It is said that he became so depressed that he refused to perform in the shows following her death. He got better in time though. Kyuquot and Keto used to fight over Kayla, the dominant female, but neither whales are at the park anymore. In a show of July 23, 2004, Kyuquot began to push around his trainer, Steve Aibel, in the water, bowing atop him. The other trainers were able to get Steve out of the water quickly and Kyuquot did nothing more. The reason for this is still not known.
