"An 18-year-old killer whale has died at the SeaWorld park in San Antonio, the park said on Tuesday, raising concern among animal groups that have criticized the company for years over its treatment of captive marine mammals.
The female whale, named Unna, was the third whale to die at the Texas park in six months.
SeaWorld said in a statement that Unna died on Monday from a 'resistant strain of a fungus called Candida.' The killer whale, or orca, had been treated by experts from around the country, it added."
