Orca Encounter (Full Show) - SeaWorld San Antonio - September 18, 2022
I came to SeaWorld San Antonio on a slower day and saw Orca Encounter with mostly Kyuquot and Tuar, but the female orcas do open the show. This show had some fun surprises for me. It was neat to see Sakari’s vspin (2:26) and then Kyuquot and Tuar made a few mistakes I’ve pointed out below. Usually these shows are perfect if the animals participate but nobody can always be perfect! See below for highlights:
0:15 - Opening with Takara, Sakari, and Kamea, beginning with Takara’s fast swim followed by Sakari’s back breach
-1:39 Kamea’s backdive
-2:26 Sakari does her new vspin!
-3:10 - Kamea and Takara’s center alien
4:53 Husbandry Demo & Play/Volunteer Segment with Kyuquot and Tuar, starting with their spyhops then toned for a hula ((thumbnail)
-5:30 Tuar’s fluke present to demonstrate voluntary blood draws and you can see how long he is!
-7:16 Kyuquot slides out to demonstrate how the whales are weighed
-9:40 Volunteer asks Tuar to do a bow
-11:16 Kyuquot’s side breach
13:35 The Hunt/Splashing with Kyuquot and Tuar, starting with Kyuquot’s fast swim
-16:64 Kyuquot and Tuar’s TNT, I believe they were a bit past the middle they were supposed to do it at
19:28 Finale with Tuar and Kyuquot, starting with Tuar’s bows
-20:32 Kyuquot’s trainer throws a salmon in the water as Kyuquot comes up for a vspin and he bails out of it! This was pretty funny!
-20:55 A pretty good angle for Tuar’s kicker
-22:31 Kyuquot’s front flip but he was past where he was supposed to jump
