A trust relationship established between orca and humans
A show that transcends the species barrier

　The orca show features dynamic movements. However, the best part of the show may be the moment when the orca returns to its trainer after the performance. It is a dazzling display of affection and connection as the trainer, smiling warmly, pats the visibly proud orca.

　“The orca understands when they are complimented. I love the moment when we come back together and see each other after the performance with the facial expression of ‘that was a fun program!’. Working together for all these years has led us to establish a trusting relationship. There are many performances that can be done only because the orca and trainer have spent a long time together.”

　Seeing the orca jump high in perfect harmony with the trainer’s gestures is moving because you can see the bond despite the species barrier. Audiences are always amazed to see the connection that’s evident between orca and trainer. As a result, this wonderful performance continues to draw a packed audience, time after time.
