Ulisses (sometimes spelled Ulises or Ulysses) is a male orca who currently lives at SeaWorld San Diego in California, USA. He was captured on November 07, 1980 at Reydarfjördur, Iceland, when he was approximately 3 years old. He lived at several parks including the Sædyrasafnid Aquarium in Iceland (November/December 1980), and the Rioléon Safari (December 1980 to June 1983), and Barcelona Zoo (June 1983 to January 1994) in Spain, before being transported to SeaWorld in 1994. He gets along with his fellow orcas but has the habit of picking on older female Corky II. He also showed dominance over Splash when he was still at the park. Ulisses is well known for his dorsal fin, which only droops halfway to his right. He is 19 feet 6 inches (5.94 m) long and weighs 9,200 pounds (4,200 kg) He also has an aggressive history with trainers mainly of a sexual nature. 1997/10/03 Sea World California, USA Ulises 20-year-old male Ulises came out at a trainer. 2002 Sea World California, USA Ulises 25-year-old male Ulises was doing a waterwork session in “A” pool. His trainer was on his back and wanted him to move closer to the acrylic by giving him the cue to “steer” him in a directional way. Ulises did not know this behaviour. Instead, he took this as a finger roll, the trainer fell off and Ulises began to go on a descent. He ignored the trainer on the porch trying to receive him and turned around to go back towards his trainer in the water. He turned ventral and scooped her up, and then started to become erect. She was able to get off at the porch and reinforce him. He was calm. 2004/08/22 Sea World California, USA Ulises 27-year-old male Ulises was doing a Scuba session with his trainer in “A” pool (a spotter Scuba diver was also at the bottom), when he looped around, became erect, and then swam on top of his trainer. He ignored a hand slap and tone before responding to a second tone. He became a father in 2011, when his son Moana was born through artificial insemination to Wikie at Marineland Antibes, France. He has never naturally conceived a calf of his own nor made any of the American whales pregnant.
