Loro Parque: would Morgan's baby survive the arrival of the French orcas?
In early March 2025, Morgan gave birth again in the tanks of Loro Parque. Since then, she has been in isolation with her calf. We are publishing previously unseen images of the two orcas and warning of the danger posed to them by the imminent arrival of Wikie and Keijo in Tenerife. Only a few days old, the young orca may not survive this upheaval.
Here’s an exclusive video of Morgan and her calf, less than a week after his birth at Loro Parque in Tenerife, watched by male orcas Adán and Tekoa.
According to Dr. Gallego, a cetacean veterinarian and consultant to One Voice, there are two major risks to this seemingly puny newborn baby from the imminent arrival of Wikie and Keijo:
Firstly, the stress induced by the cranes, the waves this arrival will create, and the tensions between individuals in these tanks, which are so much smaller than those at Marineland. In which tank will Morgan and his son be in peace? Ideally, a minimum of one month is required before any upheaval takes place.
And above all: what kind of water filtering system is planned? Morgan transmits her antibodies to the baby via her milk, but we don’t want the bacteria from the French orcas to expose him to diseases…
Let’s not forget that Morgan’s daughter Ula died at less than three years of age… She was born with a malformation. To this day, we don’t know the real state of health of this little male orca, who doesn’t yet have a first name.
