As they say,seeing is believing. Whoever can think that
Whales can be trained, least of all, Killer Whales.Well,if you happen to be in
the Sea World in Orlando,you are likely to come back with memories of
the most happening hour of your life. Six Whales. Jumping,dancing,prancing.All
to the commands of their mentors who are,of course,on firm ground.Mind
you,these Whales are trained but not yet civilized.They are guided by basic
instinct.Conditioned to food and animal instinct to strike.It is amazing to see
how training had been evolved to condition them in a most unusual
place.Namely,far from their natural habitat and in a pool.One can see 2 shows a
day.Seats next to pool are splash ones.Better to sit at back if you plan to
operate a camera.Better idea is to see it twice.That way one can manage to
actually see it and enjoy wheras te other show can be seen behind the lens.Whales
jump on to the foyer area and ground themselves.Occasionally,you see them
jumping high and take somersaults.Very often they will splash at you in ecstasy
of school children.And the beauty is,there is danger looming large always.Beauty
is grotesque.
