Baby Shamu

Baby Shamu is an orca (killer whale) that appears in several stage shows at the SeaWorld theme parks. Since the original Shamu debuted in the late 1960s, numerous orcas performed under the Shamu name over the course of 40-plus years, until SeaWorld ended its orca breeding program in 2016.

Baby Shamu first appeared as a balloon in 1986, and retired after 1988.

History in the Parade
Baby Shamu made her parade debut in 1986, alongside a SeaWorld float. She made subsequent appearances in 1987 and 1988, when she was retired. Due to SeaWorld ending its orca breeding program as mentioned above, and several controversies with SeaWorld, she is very unlikely to return.
