other calves and grandchildren In early 1987, an adult male Orca named Kanduke arrived in Orlando. He and Katina soon mated. Katina bore her second calf on November 4, 1988. It was another female named Katerina. In early 1991, Katerina was moved to Texas. Katerina died on May 5, 1999 at SeaWorld San Antonio in Texas at 10.5 years of age. A male named Tilikum came to SeaWorld in January 1992. It wasn't long before Katina was pregnant again. She gave birth to her first son on September 9, 1993; the calf was named Taku. Katina has given birth to seven calves in all, of whom five have been taken from her and shipped other theme parks. Four have died. In the wild, male orcas leave the pod in order to mate. But Taku, Katina’s son, impregnated his mother when he reached sexual maturity. To date, their calf, Nalani, lives with her at SeaWorld Orlando. Taku himself passed away in 2007, several months after being separated from Katina. Just seven months prior to Taku's birth, Katina's older daughter Kalina gave birth to her first calf, Keet, on February 2, 1993, thus making Katina a grandmother. Keet was born in SeaWorld San Antonio, where Kalina resided at the time. Katina's next calf came on December 27, 1996. It was a female and she was named Unna. Her fifth calf was a male born on August 25, 2002; he would later be named Ikaika. Unna, Ikaika, and Taku were all fathered by Tilikum. Unna later died on December 21, 2015. Katina gave birth to her sixth calf on September 18, 2006. The baby was a female and was named Nalani On October 9, 2010, Katina gave birth to her seventh calf and her third son, Makaio, just five days after her first offspring Kalina died. He was sired by Tilikum, who had already fathered three of her previous children. Besides Keet, Kalina has three other calves: Keto (male; born 1995), Tuar (male; born 1999), and Skyla (female; born 2004 died 2021). Her son Taku fathered a male calf named Trua whom was born to Takara on November 23, 2005. Keet, Kalina's oldest calf, has fathered two daughters of his own: Kalia (2004) and Halyn* (2005–2008), making Katina the first ever great-grandmother at SeaWorld. Keto, Kalina's second son, had a son Adán in (2010) and his first daughter Victoria (2012-2013). On December 2,
