foo monkey: It's in the Daily Mail, so I doubt the existence of whales, birth, and Texas.
Pfft. I'm seeing the Daily Mail on my computer screen and I now doubt the existence of electronics and light.

TorpedoOrca: :/ it's a damned shame it had to be born into captivity. If the pod the mom came from is still out there, there's a slight possibility they would accept her in the wild and take care of raising the calf

From what I've read, that's pretty much spot on. Orca are some of the smartest animals on the planet, so it wouldn't be surprising if they saw the family resemblance in the calf.
The pod'd be like "you see that little baby orca over there?"
"Hey baby orca, what's your name?"
"I don't have a name. My trainers didn't know if I was a boy or a girl orca yet. Tee hee"
"Oh that sucks. You know, you remind me of someone I used to know. Someone who cut me off. Make it out like we were nothing and 'I don't even need your love'. And she treated me like a stranger and that felt rough. Why did she stoop so low? Just get scooped up by some trawler and disappear. I don't need that though."
"Uh, my mommy was Takara. Did you know her?"
"Now she's just some orca that I used to know."

ThatGuyFromTheInternet: Or as I see it, veal of the sea.
If Fin Whale is any indication, no. Greasy, nasty shiat that even the Japanese "researchers" have to pawn off from their "research" as school lunches because no one would willingly eat it. Worst "Taco Tuesday" ever.
It's bad.

drjekel_mrhyde: Some of the same people that want to ban zoos and shiat like them, will go home and let their cat/s out to destroy every wild creature smaller than it.

really bad, stinky, fishy-tasting jerky that no one wants.

If even the Japanese won't eat it as a "delicacy," then it's probably pretty nasty.

The longest of long stretches for jokes are often the worst. You orca know that.

It is not "normal". It's a sign of bad health. Yes, it happens in the wild... to sick and malnourished orca.
