The true story of Keiko.

I know this is off topic of Animal Jam, but I wanted to tell you guys the true story of Keiko the Killer Whale. It all started sometime in 1977 (or 1978) in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean near Iceland, a killer whale was born named Keiko. People from Mexico had him in a little pool where he used to live. Where my dad used to live. My dad lived about 20 miles away from the whale. It was in the year 1990 when he was in Mexico and they made a movie about him called "Keiko En Peligro". Which means Keiko In Danger. The it was in the year 1993 when he starred in his first movie "Free Willy". He was captured and taken to an water park somewhere where they had filmed the movie. Then in his second movie in 1995 "Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home", where before the ending of that movie where Willy lived, there was an oil spill out in the water. In his thrd movie in 1997, he was a father who had a wife named "Nickii" and they had a daughter together. Then in 1998 he was taken to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport,Oregon. He got released a few years after that, then he swam to Norway and on the day of December 12, 2003, he was on the shore in Norway and he had pneumonia and he was coughing then a while after that, he died.  Some kids from a Norwegian School went on a trip and there was a sign that said: Keiko's Grave. He was buried under the dirt and the school kids took some rocks and covered his body and dirt with them.  Here are some real pictures of the whale and his grave. In his movie "Keiko En Peligro, he even knew how to kiss people. Weird huh?

 Then here is him in his aquarium tank.

Here is his first movie "Keiko En Peligro".
