Yes!... Shamu was Captured by Ted Griffin in Puget Sound in 1965, Shamu was intended to be a companion for the orca Namu in Griffin's Seattle aquarium. Shamu was however quickly leased and eventually sold to Sea World in Florida. She performed in several Sea World shows and eventually died on August 23, 1971. The name Shamu has since been used for many different orcas in Sea World shows.
Shamu is a stage name. The orcas have their own names. There are currently 40 orcas in captivity.

The Shamu Close up pool is 1 million gallons
We cannot be exact, because it was many times. He performed Thriller during his world tours.
There was only one shamu. He died in the year of '71. Every SeaWorld claims to have a "Shamu" but that is just like a show name for their whales. Hope that answers your question!!

There has only been one Shamu in the SeaWorld history. The original Shamu died 7/9/71. Since then, there has been no new "Shamu." The three SeaWorld parks claim every whale there to be "Shamu" SeaWorld San Diego: Corky2 Kasatka Ulises Orkid Sumar Nakai Kalia SeaWorld Orlando: Katina Tillikum Kalina Kayla Taima Takara Trua Nalanie Malia SeaWorld San Antonio: Kyoquot Keet Unna Tuar Halyn Those are the names of all the orcas at the 3 SeaWorld parks :) I wish the original Shamu was still alive, but sadly she only survived 6 years in captivity. Corky 2 (my fav orca! lol!), located at SeaWorld San Diego, is the oldest orca in captivity alive. She is considered the "Shamu" to all three parks, because she acts like the original Shamu. "Shamu" is now just a stage name at the "Shamu" shows
