It would be common to think JJ the grey whale was raised and released in the Pacific Ocean by the San Diego Zoo, but it the baby whale was rescued by Sea World San Diego, and released off Point Loma, San Diego waters, on March 31, 1998.

The newborn gray whale calf was severely dehydrated and hypoglycemic when it arrived at Sea World San Diego on January 12, 1997.
