Animal

The Resume

    (1965- )
    Official mascot for Sea World
    Weighs around 7,000 pounds
    Performs 2 shows per day at Sea World amusement parks

Why he might be annoying:

    He splashes you with dirty water.
    There is no official Shamu, since every Sea World has a few performing whales named Shamu.
    Although Shamu is a male, there are several female whales who portray Shamu.
    He is imprisoned in a swimming pool.
    He has really bad fish breath.
    He overshadows all of the other attractions at Sea World.
    Sea World charges $32 per person to dine with Shamu.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The Shamu show is the most popular attraction at Sea World.
    Despite being a ‘killer’ whale, it is very friendly around people.
    Sea World offers a Trainer for a Day program that allows you to swim with Shamu.
    He, along with Sea World was parodied on an episode of South Park.
    His success has created ‘Baby Shamu,’ who is a baby whale that performs with Shamu.
    His performances always fill up the 5,500 seat Shamu Stadium.
