Keiko sharpens survival skills in native waters

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Celebrity killer whale Keiko is rediscovering lost
skills and honing his survival instincts now that he is back in his

who has been in captivity most of his 22 years, could be released within
two years from his protected home in a secluded harbor, he said. "He's

a speech at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. He is on the board of
directors of the Free Willy Keiko Foundation, which cares for the orca. See
