Life at Loro Parque
Upon Morgan's arrival at Loro Parque, she was introduced to one-year-old Adán and seven-year-old Skyla. Morgan was eventually introduced to the park's oldest female, Kohana (along with Skyla). According to various photographic sources, as of December 7, Morgan has also been introduced to eleven-year-old Tekoa, the park's second oldest male. Morgan has been introduced to sixteen-year-old Keto, the park's oldest male.
In May 2012 Loro Parque announced there is a good chance that Morgan is partially deaf. According to the trainers at the park, Morgan barely responds to whistle signals, but she does respond well to hand and arm gestures. The Orca Coalition stated it was 'stunned' by the announcement, which the coalition believes was done only in preparation of a new lawsuit filed by the Coalition, due for 1 November 2012.
