Two orcas and 12 dolphins have been stuck in bleak living conditions in an abandoned marine park since January.
The majestic creatures remain confined in Marineland Antibes, a French marine park near Cannes that shut its doors four months ago.
Disturbing drone footage released by animal activist group TideBreakers shows the orcas Wikie, 23, and her 11-year-old son Keijo wandering aimlessly around the abandoned park.
The video also shows the algae-infested pool where the remaining dolphins are kept.
But despite their despairing condition, French authorities have yet to identify a suitable site in Europe for the orcas and have rejected a proposed move to a marine zoo in Japan.
