The president of the Loro Parque Group, Wolfgang Kiessling, highlighted the high level of participation on social media, \u2018which shows the strong connection that Morgan and her baby have created, especially among young people.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Loro Parque has officially announced the name of the orca calf born on 31 March: Teno. The name was chosen after a massive social media campaign, in which more than 7,000 internet users voted for their favourite from a shortlist of names.<\/p>\n

The initiative, carried out in two phases through the park’s official Instagram profile, has demonstrated the enormous interest and emotional connection that the birth of the calf has aroused among the public. In the first phase, followers were invited to suggest names, generating thousands of proposals that reflected the creativity and affection of the participants. Subsequently, in an open vote, users chose from several options, with Teno receiving the most votes.<\/p>\n

The name pays tribute to the iconic Teno Massif, a natural area of great ecological and scenic value located in the north-west of Tenerife. This choice establishes a symbolic link between the orca calf and the natural wealth of the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wolfgang Kiessling, president of the Loro Parque Group, highlighted the positive impact of this participatory campaign, \u2018as we are deeply grateful for the extraordinary response from the public, especially among young people. This calf represents new hope for cetacean conservation and education, and now has a name that links its history to the identity of its homeland.\u2019<\/p>\n

Morgan’s calf has become a phenomenon of attention and affection among visitors and followers of the park. Since its birth, it has generated a wave of enthusiasm that reinforces Loro Parque’s role as a benchmark in marine conservation, animal welfare and environmental education.
\nSince the calf was born on 31 March, the Loro Parque team has been constantly monitoring Teno’s progress alongside his mother Morgan, especially during the first months of life. Both remain in controlled areas until they are ready to join the rest of the orca family residing at Loro Parque.<\/p>\n
