I was so glad to get a video of the orcas with enrichment! These can be tricky to see as a guest as there are restrictions to what toys orcas can get if guests have an above water view of them. In this case, the orcas could have if they tried but most likely wouldn't have thrown them out at us. I would not want to get hit by those!
These were barrels with holes that appeared to be stuffed with fish and maybe some other treats orcas love!
0:18 Both whales push and nudge the barrels, probably trying to knock something edible out of it
1:35 The whales were called over by their trainers but didn't show up till almost a minute later at 2:30. I think they thought their trainers were gonna take them away. They're like kids when you tell them to stop watching TV!
3:00 The trainers reloaded the toys with fish! 3:19 is my thumbnail
