Not sure if any of you know but The Miami Seaquarium announced that Lolita has been sick with a tooth infection... As we all know, bad dental health in captive Orcas is life threatening, we all hope and pray that Lolita is going to be ok. There's been conflicting stories running wild over the internet regarding Lolitas health, some people stating her illness is more serious than being reported by the aquarium, and some even suggesting that she passed away :-(
Here's the updates that have been posted so far:

VIA Triton MarineConservation: via Chris Lagergren a helicopter landed at MSQ approx 30 mins ago and unloaded 4 passengers with backpacks. They're thought to be SeaWorld or other outsourced veterinary staff for Lolita. Reports are that she has been heard breathing by activists on the inside earlier today. Last night every light was on in the park well past midnight. Pray.
Just got a report from someone inside the Seaquarium that they heard Toki vocalize 8 minutes ago - she is still alive, which is very good news~ Via Orca network.
Lets all keep Lolita in our prayers, she's last remaining Orca from the Pugent Sound captures and a lot of people are hoping that one day she see's her family once again.
