Former trainer talks about captivity

Deformed tail flukes? Obviously this guy doesn't know much about killer whales, curled flukes are normal in adult male whales in the wild.

So are collapsed dorsal fins. Not to say that Tillikum's dorsal fin collapse isn't a result of spending more time at the surface, but there are plenty of wild male orcas with bent fins.
