Orcas at SeaWorld San Antonio in Texas
*Halyn*
Halyn (meaning "unique, unlike any other") is the first killer whale calf at any SeaWorld to be hand-raised by people. Her blood is 12.5% southern resident, 25% northern resident, and 62.5% Icelandic.

Halyn is a female, born to first-time mother Kayla. Her father is Keet, currently residing at the park. She was born after a normal two-hour-labor. Some minutes after birth, Kayla rejected her calf and staff immediately stepped in for aid. Halyn was placed in a medical or back pool along with a female bottlenose dolphin, Mattie, as a companion and teacher. She was hand-fed with a special formula. Kayla is doing well and is as healthy as her strong little calf. Kayla and Kenau were separated when Kayla wasn't even three years old. She is doing very well and has already started teething.

On May 2, 2006 SeaWorld announced that Halyn was moved to Shamu Theater, where she will be introduced to Unna, Kayla (note: Kayla was moved to Sea World Orlando), Tuar, Ky, and Keet one at a time. It was also announced that Halyn is weaned off formula and onto fish.
She is Corky's great grand niece, Orky 2's and Kenau's first born granddaughter, and she is considered as a great grandbaby Shamu, being the grand daughter of Kalina, the original "Baby Shamu".

On June 15th, 2008 SeaWorld announced Halyn died un-expectantly, in which a necropsy will be performed and test results will be announced soon.
