Fourth Marineland whale dies after relocation, third at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago
The death follows three other belugas moved from Marineland, and the aquarium said a full necropsy will be conducted.
- A fourth beluga whale that was moved out of Marineland in July has died, marking another loss among the animals relocated from the Niagara Falls, Ont., facility.
- Marineland cited financial constraints as the reason it could no longer care for its animals, prompting the relocation of a pod of 30 belugas over six weeks this summer.
- Shedd Aquarium in Chicago accepted 10 of these belugas, but three have since died alongside one longtime resident, including 26-year-old Osiris, who had issues eating since arriving.
- Separately, another Marineland beluga died last week at Oceanografic Valencia, further impacting the group dispersed following the closure of the Niagara Falls park.
- Shedd Aquarium has not identified a cause of death for Osiris, though the aquarium continues monitoring the remaining belugas after the complex relocation effort.
