Third Marineland Beluga Dies After Move, This Time in Spain
The Spanish aquarium said the 19-year-old beluga died suddenly after feeding difficulties, and veterinarians will perform a necropsy.
- On Friday, Jelly Bean, a beluga whale relocated from Canada, died "suddenly and unexpectedly" at Oceanografic Valencia in Spain; the aquarium will conduct a necropsy to determine the cause.
- Marineland and Oceanografic Valencia moved Jelly Bean, Cleopatra, and four dolphins to Spain in a 20-hour odyssey on Aug. 27, following the Niagara Falls, Ont., theme park's closure.
- In recent days, Jelly Bean experienced feeding difficulties, prompting intensified monitoring; she showed signs of improvement and remained responsive to caregivers despite around-the-clock care.
- Marineland, which held 30 belugas—the world's largest captive collection—distributed animals to five facilities including the Georgia Aquarium and Shedd Aquarium after the park's closure.
- Canada's last captive whale, Tofino, departed Marineland on Aug. 31, marking the end of whale captivity following the 2019 federal ban; Marineland expressed sadness over Jelly Bean's passing.
