Will 'world's loneliest orca' be released into the wild?
NOAA is set to decide soon on whether to put a killer whale named, Lolita, dubbed "the world's loneliest orca," on the endangered species list. While her group of whales was already considered endangered, her status hasn't change because she is living in captivity. But now, researchers disagree over whether to give her that protection since she'll most likely be released into the wild.
