SAN DIEGO (AP) — SeaWorld says an 11-year-old orca injured during a night performance is on antibiotics and starting to regrow tissue to the wound on his lower jaw.

The park said in a statement Monday that Nakai was injured Sept. 20 after engaging in “normal social behavior” with two whales. It did not specify how the accident happened.
