Kiska, the last captive killer whale in Canada — also known as "the loneliest whale in the world" — has died, according to local media.
The orca, believed to be 47 years old, died on Thursday, Ontario's solicitor general ministry spokesperson Brent Ross confirmed to CBC. Kiska, who spent over four decades in captivity, resided at Marineland, a zoo and amusement park in Niagara Falls, after being captured in Icelandic waters in 1979 alongside Keiko, the star of the movie, Free Willy, the publication reported.
