Description
Vigils in Langley on Whidbey Island and in Miami Florida were held in honor of Tokitae's passing on Saturday night.
Tokitae was the last Southern Resident orca living in captivity. She was captured from Whidbey Island's Penn Cove in August of 1970. She spent the rest of her life living and performing at the Miami Seaquarium.
