Florida aquarium to release Lolita the orca back to her natural habitat after 50 years.

After being held in captivity for nearly 50 years, Lolita the orca will be returned to her home waters in the Pacific Northwest. The Miami Seaquarium signed a deal with Friends of Lolita to relocate the orca, with financial assistance from philanthropist Jim Irsay. The plan is to build her an ocean sanctuary with netting, where she will receive constant care from trainers. Lolita was captured from the Pacific coast near Seattle nearly 50 years ago at the age of 4 and is currently the oldest orca to be held in captivity.
