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.
Orcas, like other cetaceans, travel in pods. Orca pods are matrilineal family units, which means that they are headed by a female, usually the mother. Resident pods are usually larger than transient pods. A resident pod can include from five to 50 orcas, whereas a transient pod usually consists of one to six orcas. The differences in pod sizes are probably due to differences in feeding habits (see Feeding Habits below).
