The Ceta-Base website functions as an online database of captive cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) held in human care worldwide. On the Or’census, you will find lists of captive killer whales, organized by facility. The facilities listed below are current holders of killer whales and we load the living population of animals by default. The deceased and historical inventories are accessible via tabs within each park. To view facilities that have closed or discontinued their display of killer whales, please visit the Historical Or’census.
All information on this page is obtained through sources such as the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Marine Mammal Inventory Report (MMIR), organizational press releases, professional journals, internet forums, message boards, and other publicly available resources.
