Core point

Six beluga whales have been relocated from a closed Canadian marine park to aquariums in the United States. The relocation is part of a larger effort to rehome a pod of 30 belugas living at Marineland of Canada. The whales were transported in specialized cold-water containers and accompanied by marine mammal veterinarians. This move follows extensive planning and veterinary checks to ensure the whales' well-being.
