His Story

Trua was born tail-first on November 23, 2005 at 10:22 PM EST. His mother Takara went into labor around 9:30 PM EST. Her first calf, Kohana, was by her side during the birth. Two days after his birth, Trua, Takara, and Kohana were joined by Kalina and Skyla.

Trua was officially named in March 2006 after the new killer whale show at the SeaWorld Adventure Parks called "Believe".
