Inouk is an 18 year old male orca who lives at Marineland Antibes, where he was born on February 23, 1999. His mother is Sharkane and his father is Kim 2.

Inouk is a very small orca for his age. Even his younger sister Wikie is larger than him. Inouk also has a very small dorsal fin. By his age, many males would already have a rather large dorsal fin that would likely be leaning. Inouk's though is rather short and straight.
