Fun Facts about Free Willy:

• The world was aware of Keiko (Willy), the famous orca, and her living circumstances after the movie’s release. His tank was too tiny and contained artificial salt water that had been chlorinated. Keiko had a skin problem near his pectoral fins and an impaired immune system. To free Keiko, a tremendous amount of work should be put forth. The whale was airlifted from Mexico to Oregon in 1996, and a special tank was constructed in the Oregon Coast Aquarium. He fully recovered and was transferred to a sea pen in 1998. After 22 years in captivity, Keiko was released into the wild in July 2002. Unfortunately, he was unable to acclimate to the wild properly and passed away in Norway in December 2003. The second-oldest orca was Keiko.
