Yes! Whales are large aquatic mammals of the order cetacea. Though whaling (or whale hunting) nearly drove them to extinction, the International Moratorium on Commercial Whaling has protected them, and now their numbers are slowly coming back. There are two orders of whale, Balinidae, or baleen whales, and Ocedonte, or toothed whales. Though both orders are carnivores, they feed quite differently. Baleen whales filter krill, a small crustacean, from the water with large plates of a horny substance called baleen. The blue whale is a well known member of this family. Toothed whales eat mostly squid, and the sperm whale is probably the best known example.

Was keiko the whale on Free Willy 2 and 3?

No, although Keiko starred in Free Willy along with an animatronic whale, only animotronic whales were used in Free Willy 2 and 3, though there were some shots of real orcas in the wild. Prior to the movies, Keiko suffered in a tank too small for him in a show in Mexico. He was largely rehabilitated at the Oregon Coast Aquarium and later prepared for a return to the wild. The attempt was ultimately unsuccessful and he died in 2003 in Norway at the age of 26 after spending more than a year in the wild with wild whales. During his short return to the wild he was reported to have made contact with people and approached children to give them rides on his back. When he was spotted in Norway, his handlers conducted boat follows and reported that he failed to re-join the wild whales. He is reported to have died of pneumonia.
