You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The original Shamu died in 1971 and SeaWorld has continued to use the name "Shamu" for all of their Killer Whales in the SeaWorld Orca shows.
"Shamu is a stage name that we use for any of the adult (male or female) killer whales in our shows." - http://www.seaworld.org/ask-shamu/faq.htm
"There have been dozens of orcas, or "killer whales," at SeaWorld affectionately dubbed Shamu since the first one died in 1971" - http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/02/shamu_kills_trainer.html
