The killer whale was sold for $8000 to Ted Griffin a Seattle public aquarium owner. Named after his place of capture Namu was the subject of a film that changed some people's attitudes toward orcas. A few months later Griffin procured a companion for Namu: a very young 14 foot 4.25 m 2000 lb 900 kg orca captured off Penn Cove Puget Sound Washington. Shamu means 'Friend of Namu' alternately 'She-Namu'. However Shamu did not get along with Namu and so was sold to SeaWorld in San Diego in December 1965. " from Wikipedia; Signed by Associated .
