Meet Halyn. She's got blue eyes, and she's....a 2 yr old Orca.

She's considered to be a great-granddaughter of the original "Shamu"; She was born at Sea World San Antonio, but her mom immediately rejected her, so she was raised by the trainers and a bottlenose dolphin. Sea World shipped her mom out to Orlando, but her dad is still at San Antonio. As a treat, the trainers let her work on some stuff during the "Dine with Shamu" the other night.
