Lolita, a 57-year-old whale, is set to be released from captivity at the Miami Seaquarium in the coming 18 to 24 months — and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay helped make it happen.
The Seaquarium announced on Thursday that it has decided to move Lolita, who was first captured when she was four and is believed to be the world’s oldest orca whale in captivity, out of its facility and into an ocean sanctuary in her native Pacific Northwest.
