Lolita the Orca to be Released into Home Waters after 50 Years in Captivity.

After 50 years of captivity at the Miami Seaquarium, Lolita, a killer whale also known as Tokitae or Toki, is set to be released into her "home waters" in the Pacific Northwest within the next 18 to 24 months. The move comes after a long-running dispute over where Lolita belongs. The Dolphin Company, which operates the Miami Seaquarium, will fly Lolita across the country and house her in a natural sea pen in Washington state, where she will be monitored and taught to fish after decades of being fed by handlers.
