The whale, known as "Granny" or J2, is estimated to be up to 103-years-old.

That's mind blowing I didn't know they lived that long

Awesome. And also a good reminder why these animals are not ideal for captivity.

What a fascinating insight! No wonder they're so smart. They have lots of time to learn.
