ANOTHER SeaWorld ORCA DIES


A 21/2-year-old killer whale died Sunday night at SeaWorld San Antonio, the second death of an orca at the theme park in the last eight months.

Halyn was one of five killer whales at SeaWorld San Antonio's Shamu Theater.

The death comes almost eight months after Taku, a 14-year-old male orca, died Oct. 17 at the park.

Jaime Alvarado-Bremer, a marine biology professor at Texas A&M University at Galveston, said he was not familiar with the death of either animal.
