longest-living orca in captivity—until she died in captivity in 2023. In 1980, Hugo rammed his head into the pool’s walls until he died of a brain aneurysm at age 15. Orcas typically live until their 90s. “Despite the significance of Hugo’s tragic story, it has not received the attention it deserves,” Stafki says.
