OrcaLand Sea Park is a seaquarium and adventure park located near the ocean in Miami, Florida. They are in partnership with SeaWorld, who adopted them when it was first created in 2000. The park's main theme is killer whales (hence; OrcaLand), but they also have belugas, bottlenose dolphins, commerson dolphins, and more. OrcaLand Miami is also another name the park goes by, since they are in the process of builiding another park in Canada. OrcaLand has two orcas, who have been captured a while ago, and are looking for more. You are allowed to have two orcas, unless stated otherwise by me or another admin. UPDATE: The park has one exhibition/show pool, quite large, and three pool directly behind it. One gate goes right through the middle on the stage, leading to Pool B. Pool A and C have gates leading to the back close-up pool and the Eating With The Orcas pool. One med pool is in the back of Pool B and one is connected to Pool C. I'll create my two whales later tonight if I have time, but here's the forum; (My female will be the matriarch, just so you know) Name; Age; Gender; Trainers Name; Orcas Personality; History(Optional); Previous Parks; [shadow=red,left,300] [glow=red,2,300]*ORCAS* [/glow][/shadow] Shamu ~ 9 yrs ~ Matriarch Tilikum ~ 30 yrs ~ Dominant Male Nalia ~ 18 yrs Keet ~ 15 yrs Kasatka ~ 32 yrs Kalia ~ 6 yrs Bomu ~ 32 yrs Kate ~ 9 yrs Cari ~ 24 yrs Kalani ~ 6 yrsMAP: You know where it looks like the gates for Pools A and C just run into the platforms? The gates open up underwater under the platforms. Hope you like it!

Name: Tilikum / Tilly Gender: Male Age: Almost 30 Personality: Large, large bull orca, who can be pretty intimidating, but has a really soft side, and only shows it to close friends. Dominant male at past parks, fathered many calves. Is now. He has lived in OrcaLand for 10 years now, he was the first one there. Shamu came a year later with her mother, who passed a year later. Mostly used for gene spreading through AI but sometimes uses the old fashioned way. Also outstanding in behaviors, mostly used for splash time, but is not allowed to do WW with trainers, until studied further. Past Parks: SeaWorld Orlando Trainer: Jayma -x- Name: Shamu (Yes, it's Shamu!) Gender: Female Age: 9 Personality: Matriarch of the pod, even though she's fairly young for one, and pretty friendly with other orcas, but has no tolerance for selfish whales and whales trying to gain dominance. Amazing performer, especially good at waterwork. Loves to play with toy plastic balls, and sometimes the mirror. Star of OrcaLand. Past Parks: SeaWorld San Diego Trainer: Matt (Sometimes Jayma and Matt switch orcas)

Shamu glided around the show pool in a slow circle. Life seemed perfect right now, some new orcas in the tank, she was still in her rightful spot of matriarch, and that would never change. Shamu swiftly swam out of her show pool, and feuded to greet the new whales. They were slowly being placed in Pool B and the close-up pool. She floated near the gate between the close-up pool and Pool B, and clicked. "Welcome everyone!" She cheerfully and welcomingly squealed, "Im the matriarch, Shamu, and the star of OrcaLand. I'm only nine, but I know, I'm really young for a matriarch, but I act more maturely than regular nine year old orcas. No offense to them, though, as I'm still nine at heart. I've been a mother to two calves, one male and one female. They currently live in Marineland Canada, they were moved recently. Tilikum?" -x- Tilikum swam over to Shamu and gave her a light nuzzle. "Yes, Shamu?" Tilikum clicked, glancing at each one of the new whales carefully. -x- Shamu returned the nuzzle, and softly clicked. "This is Tilikum, current dominant male. He does not intend to lose that position anytime soon. Other orcas seeking dominance and power have tried to...wrestle him for it. They have all lived...except for..." Shamu paused, remembering an incident a year ago, with a smaller bull orca and Tilly. She wriggles her pecs and continued, "Just, Tilikum doesn't like to be messed with. Don't think he's an intentionally a violent orca, but he deserves his spot as well. Tilikum has also fathered one of my calves." Shamu opened her jaws in a smile. "So, would you guys like to introduce yourselves, and something you think I should know about you?" Shamu clicked.

Nalia was in awe at Tillys size and beauty. He didnt care about his violence, it was just a dominance thing. Nalia liked the huge bull. "I'm Nalia, and this is Keet" she clicked sweetly. "We come from Sealand Canada, together. Im 18 and hes 15. I am used a lot to interact with new trainers and guest as well as waterworks. I have never had a calf, but I would like to maybe someday."

"Great!" Shamu looked at Nalia and Keet, studying them. She smiled and nodded, waiting for someone else to introduce themselves.
