Early Life[]
Moana was born to Wikie and Ulises on March 16th, 2011. He was the first successful birth of a killer whale via artificial insemination in Europe and the third worldwide. His father, Ulises, lives at SeaWorld San Diego in California. Initially, Marineland Antibes incorrectly sexed Moana as a female before finding out that he was, in fact, a male killer whale. At that point, he had already been given the name Moana but Marineland decided to keep the name anyway.
Trivia[]
- The name "Moana" is a unisex name of Hawai'ian origin and means "ocean" or "sea."
