How many killer whales are there in captivity now?
There are around 49 killer whales that are captive at this time. This can be hard to keep track of for some aquariums still take whales from the wild (i.e. Taiji 5 capture) and keep those whales hidden until they have been trained. It is also hard to keep track of some of the live births in captivity. Aquariums have been known to hide new babies until they believe that the new baby will survive so the public does not hear about it.
