An orca performance at SeaWorld San Antonio took a surprising turn when one of the whales defecated in the water and subsequently splashed fecal matter onto guests in the splash zone. Eyewitnesses reported chaos and shock as families, including children, were unexpectedly covered in the waste, with some guests gagging at the foul odor. SeaWorld staff quickly implemented health and safety protocols, isolating affected visitors and providing decontamination assistance. Although no injuries were reported, the incident has raised concerns about the unpredictability of live animal performances and potential health risks associated with marine mammal waste. Viral videos of the incident have sparked mixed reactions online, ranging from humor to criticism of animal captivity. SeaWorld has expressed regret and stated they will review their procedures to prevent such occurrences in the future.
