In February 1968, twelve orcas were captured in Vaughn Bay. A young male was reportedly the only one that was kept. He was held at the Seattle Marine Aquarium before being bought by the Miami Seaquarium where he was housed in a small pool that is now used for housing manatees. | In February 1968, twelve orcas were captured in Vaughn Bay.

In 1970, a second orca arrived. Her name was [[Lolita - orca|Lolita]] (formerly known as Tokitae) and she was also from the southern resident population. They were kept separate at first but would often call to each other until Hugo was moved to the tank that had been built for [[Lolita - orca|Lolita]]. The two did not seem to get along at first which also resulted in Hugo becoming aggressive towards his trainers. | In 1970, a second orca arrived.
