For those of you in New Zealand, here's the first episode of 'Our Big Blue Backyard' featuring the New Zealand orca:
http://tvnz.co.nz/our-big-blue-backyard/s1-ep1-video-6110191 An update from Russian Orcas about Narnia and the other orca captured from Russian waters who were transported to Moscow in December 2013: The administration of All-Russian Exibition Center (aka VDNKh) have confirmed that the orcas are there. However, they claim that the conditions in the tanks meet all worldwide guidelines. The water volume of the two combined tanks is more than 8000 cubic meters, the diameter of each tank is 25 meters and the depth is 8 meters. Each whale eats from 60 to 100 kg of fish per day. They are fed 12 different varieties of fish, including coho, chum, pink salmon. They also say that the main oceanarium is planned to be finished in December 2014. If you have any questions, you can ask them on their facebook page (sorry Russian only):https://www.facebook.com/vdnhru?fref=nf
