Angie Gyllenhammer swims with month old orphan killer whale Pascuala (R) and a dolphin 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 it 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]
