MEETING TAKARA

When Takara and her daughter Kohana arrived at SeaWorld, Taku took some romantic interest in her. At first, Takara would swim away from him when he was too close to him but later took romantic interest in Taku and began to be close to him. Takara had made a good impression on Taku - love at first sight! Visitors were commenting on Taku's persistence in following Takara and Kohana everywhere after their arrival. Now things have settled down a bit and Takara actually enjoys Taku's company a lot. She would often initiate contact with him by swimming with him or just rubbing. They're a cute couple. Soon Taku mated with Takara in May 2004 and she became pregnant by him.
