Angie Gyllenhammer prepares to swim with month old orphan killer whale Pascuala at the Vallarta Adventure park in Nuevo Vallarta in Mexico's western state of Nayarit May 17, 2007. Pascuala was found when she was only days old stranded on a beach 100km (62 miles) north of Nuevo Vallarta and brought to the park to be looked after. Pascuala is the first recorded case of a killer whale born in the wild to be cared for by humans. The owners of the park hope to send Pascuala to a much larger aquarium so she can be cared for and live in the company of other killer whales.[Reuters]
