SHAMU !! My newest down time obsession. I found out a few weeks ago that Shamu has a Webcam and I can watch LIVE.
I took the above picture by hitting the print screen tab and copying it to my photo program.. What fun. In this pic she was feeding, and passed right in front of the cam. Isn't she beautiful??
I wanted to know if it was the original Shamu, and if it was female. I found this response at Seaworld.
What is the origin of the name "Shamu"?
Many stories exist about the origin of Shamu's name. One revolves around the first collected killer whale that was named Namu after a British Columbian town. When SeaWorld welcomed its first killer whale, it was named Shamu, for "She-Namu".
You can watch her too. Go to http://shamu.com/ and click on
