Researchers blast Keiko project


"To me, it's incomprehensible that anyone can think that an animal that's been so influenced by humans can become wild again." Berntsen said.

A US-based Keiko-supporter group has spent at least NOK 140 million (around USD 20 million) trying to return Keiko to the wilds. Berntsen noted that orcas like Keiko are typical flock-oriented animals that are especially difficult to return to the nature.


Keiko will spend the winter in the idyllic
Taknes Bay, not far from Kristiansund.
