Does Tilikum whale have teeth?
Of course see now killer whales are toothed whales and tilikum is a toothed whale so he has teeth that are triangular shape but round at the tip. killer whales dont use there teeth that much when they are in captivity because the way they eat there food is swallowing it it is because they have no gag reflects. so dont worry they wont harm you even though they are the top predetor of the whole ocean! thanks!

What will happen to Tilikum - the killer whale - now that he has killed 3 people?
TiliKum will LiveAs to whether he is used in shows or not- that is undecided. He can't be released to the wild because orcas have complex social networks and he's already developed a 'domesticated' life that would make living in the wild rather harsh. Added update: as of 2/27/10, Sea World has announced that they will keep the whale and may even use him in future shows. They have changed their procedures and will now keep the trainers out of the water when Orcas are present.
