In mid-April, a local resident found a great egret chick on the ground and brought it to SeaWorld’s animal care team for help. SeaWorld’s aviculturists have seen cases like this before and speculated that the chick probably fell from its nest.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment has a lot to be thankful for this year, especially the successful births of these amazing animals:

Definitely the largest babies this year were killer whales -- tipping the scales at about 350 pounds! Both SeaWorld Orlando and San Antonio added to their killer whale families.
