2014 at 12:34 pm, Kalia gave birth to Katina's first great-great grandchild, Amaya, sired by Ulises. Katina currently Katina is about 46 years old and is one of the most successful Orcas in history at SeaWorld. Measuring about 17 feet and weighing in at about 5,200 pounds, Katina is on the small side compared to most other females, but she is rather bulky. She is an excellent performer and is very reliable. She is one of their principal whales for performances and is used daily. Katina is generally very relaxed, sweet-natured and patient and has never been involved in any known incidents with one of her handlers. Being the matriarch of the orcas, Katina is rather dominant. She can sometimes, although rarely, be stubborn and refuse to perform. When this happens, usually all of the other orcas follow suit. Katina only lives with two of her children (Makaio and Nalani) and her grandson (Trua). She was usually with her daughter (Nalani) but was also with Takara and Trua quite often up until Takara was transferred to SeaWorld San Antonio. A new female named Kayla arrived in Orlando from SeaWorld San Antonio. She and Katina spend a lot of time together. Seaworld announced on May 18, 2010 that Katina was pregnant again by Tilikum. She gave birth to Makaio at 7:28 pm on Saturday October 9, 2010. It was determined a male on October 18, 2010. As of December 2010 Makaio was 7 feet long and weighed approximately 550 pounds.
