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!!
Shamus real name is shamu, However the whales that use the show name in Orlando are Katina and Kayla and in California its,Kasatka, corky, and orkid, in Texas its Unna and Takara
There have been multiple killer whales that have been named Shamu, and they have been both male and female. The original Shamu was a female orca, while some of the others have been male.
Shamu, the famous orca from SeaWorld, was not buried as she was too large for traditional burial. Shamu was a stage name used for several orcas throughout the years, and they were all either cremated or disposed of by other means after their deaths.
The truth is, all of the orcas at SeaWorld are given the title "Shamu". It is a Stage name So really, finding an exact age is not possible. However the oldest killer whale is named Katina. She is 26 yrs old and is a grandma. The original orca named Shamu died at age 9.
No, Tillikum and Shamu are not the same whale. Shamu was a stage name used for several different orcas in SeaWorld shows over the years, while Tillikum was a specific male orca that gained attention for being involved in several incidents at SeaWorld.
Shamu died in 1971
Shamu's tank at Sea World Orlando is 36 feet deep. The water is kept at a constant 55 degrees.

Her species originate from the arctic circle, Todays Shamu wasn't captured from the wild she was raised in sea world so she has no idea of survival in the wild.
The original Shamu at SeaWorld San Diego, named Namu, was the first killer whale to portray Shamu and passed away in 1971. The subsequent Shamus in SeaWorld San Antonio and SeaWorld Orlando were different whales.
Shamu the Original whale died after living in captivity for 6 years of an infection in the blood. There have been 51 shamu's* since the original died. *Shamus meaning orcas. They all got the stage name Shamu during shows.
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
