Algonquin's History

"Quin" was born at FriendShip Cove. Quin was never used in FriendShip Cove petting sessions because Nootka was very protective of him. Quin loved his mother and half brother, Hudson, and was often seen with them. Quin was very interactive and loved stuffed animals at the close-up. Quin died from a twisted intestine that could not have been cured, without surgery which is impossible on an orca.
