Corky
Corky is a female captive orca from the A5 Pod in British Columbia, Canada. She currently lives at SeaWorld San Diego in California. Corky received her name after the park's original Corky died in December 1970. Of the other animals captured on that day, only Corky still survives. She is estimated to have been born in 1966 and it is believed that her mother is Stripe, who died in 2000.

Examples of corky in a Sentence
I see our picture, a couple in love. In the full frame of the picture to our right is our Marine Vietnam vet, Corky. He's sleeping so he's the peace. On the other side is the butterfly. That's hope, and I sincerely wish that future generations get that same feeling from that picture. There's always hope, no matter how chaotic. If you have love and peace and trust, there's always hope. And while I certainly wasn't a hippie back in 1969, I think deep in my heart I am one now.
