is so large because he couldn't get away, just is not as mobile next to the smaller, more agile females. and where was he going to run? >> i think he spent a lot of times in isolation. and seaworld claims no, he is always with the other females. from what i saw he was mostly put with the females for breeding purposes and didn't spend a lot of times with the other whales. >> it is for his own protection. he gets beat up. and so by segregating him it provides a physical barrier so the females can't kick his butt. >> tilicum is pretty much kept in the back and then brought out at the very end as like the big splas splash. >> he was always happy to see you in the morning. maybe because he was alone. maybe because he was hungry or maybe because he just liked you.
