I've wikified this article, although it could still do with some work. Things I can think of are:

• Add an image of Kayla. There are several pages on the internet with images of SeaWorld whales, maybe ask one of the people that have taken an image if it could be licensed under GFDL or into the public domain.
• Add an external link to Kayla's page on the Official SeaWorld Site (if such page exists - I couldn't find it).
• Some expansion, e.g. expanding the sentence saying Kayla does stunts by giving examples of such stunts (and possibly some images of Kayla performing those stunts.
• I added section headers, although I'm not sure if better headers names could have been used.

[edit] Fact-checking needed

The intro paragraph of the article states Kayla is still at the Sea World of Texas (San Antonio) park, but there's a section in the article about her moving to the Orlando park in November 2006. I believe the latter is correct, but do not have a source so I've left the incongruous statements for someone else to resolve. - Ageekgal 17:44, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Resolved on edit by SWF Trainer. Thank you! - Ageekgal 21:12, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
