Keto

Keto was a 29 year old male orca who lived at Loro Parque. He was born at SeaWorld Orlando on June 17, 1995 to mother Kalina and father Kotar. He passed away on November 22, 2024.

Keto was one of the few orcas to have lived at all four U.S. SeaWorld parks. In 2006, Keto moved to Loro Parque along with three other orcas. Since then, he had sired two calves with Kohana: Adan in 2010 and Victoria in 2012. Keto is Kohana's half uncle which makes their calves 6.25% inbred. On September 22, 2018, Morgan gave birth to his third calf, named Ula.

In 2009, Keto was involved in the death of one of his trainers, Alexis, during a training session where his trainer drowned. Since this happened, waterworks were stopped, though trainers still entered the water with Adan, Victoria and Ula when they were young calves. Keto was the most dominant male at the park.

On November 20, 2024, Loro Parque announce that Keto was showing signs of illness. He passed away shortly after as Loro Parque announced the passing on November 22nd. It is assumed he passed on the same day. A necropsy will be performed to determine his cause of death.
