There are currently a total of 60 orcas held in captivity (27 wild-captured plus 33 captive-born) in at least 14 marine parks in 8 different countries. (This page was last updated August 17, 2017). At least 156 orcas have been taken into captivity from the wild since 1961 (including Pascuala and Morgan). 1  129 of these orcas are now dead. 2  In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). At least 165 orcas have died in captivity, not including 30 miscarried or still-born calves.
The average lifespan of female orcas in the wild is 50 years, with several individuals living as long as 80â100 years. Male orcas become fully sexually mature at age 25. Between ages 12-15 their dorsal fin begins to grow taller and straighter, indicating the onset of sexual maturity. They typically donât mate until after the age of 20. Male orcas in the wild live 29 years on average, with a maximum of 50â60 years. J2âs relative, J1 (died in 2010) was estimated to be 59 at his death. A captive orca's lifespan is typically much shorter, often by 25 years or more. Killer whales are the largest members of the dolphin family.
