Description Nakai performed a rare ventral zipper during the show; it was so nice to see it again!

I was hearing that he wouldn't be in shows until his wound is entirely healed.

I don't know where you heard that from but as you can see it's not true. By now he's improved considerably and there's more harm than hurt in not having Nakai in shows. Nakai still needs to be included and exercise, be it during or outside a show.

That's true, I never expected a wound like that to fill in and heal, either way, I have little respect for Sea World or any marine park.

Me too I was so happy to see this behavior! I have a video of him interacting at the glass so I'll try to upload next weekend. I send you the link via Note when it's up.
