Orca 'Lolita' at Miami facility to get endangered protection

FILE - In this March 9, 1995 file photo, trainer Marcia Hinton pets Lolita, a captive orca whale, during a performance at the Miami Seaquarium in Miami. The federal government has decided that the whale deserves the same protection as a small population of endangered orcas that spend time in Washington state waters. But the National Marine Fisheries Service also said Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2015, that the whale’s inclusion in the endangered listing does not impact the animal’s stay at the Florida facility where she has been since 1970.
