Seaquarium Says: Lolita has been in captivity for over 30 years and has learned to trust humans. This trust could be dangerous for her in the wild. FACT: Recent scientific studies have shown that orcas are well aware that they are orcas, and not pets for humans. Springer, the 18-month old orca that was returned to her family, quickly learned to stay away from boats and stay with her family. Lolita would need to be “deprogrammed,” but it can and has been done.
