Captured in November 1980, Ulisses is a male orca who currently lives at SeaWorld San Diego in California, USA. He lived at several parks in Spain including the Barcelona Zoo (1984–1994) before arriving at SeaWorld in 1994.[citation needed] Ulisses is extremely gentle and does waterworks with his trainers. He gets along with his fellow orcas but has the habit of picking on older female Corky II. Ulisses is well known for his dorsal fin which does not completely flop. His nicknames are Uli, Big Dog and Uli Bear. Another unique feature of Ulisses is his eyes. One is brown and the other is blue. He became a father for the first time on March 16, 2011. The female calf was born through artificial insemination to Wikie who lives in Marineland Antibes in France. His daughter was later named Moana (ocean in polish). It was later discovered that "Moana" was a male.
