Beluga whales relocated from closed Canadian marine park arrive in US

Core point

Six beluga whales have arrived at aquariums in the United States after being moved from a closed Canadian marine park. They are part of a large pod of 30 belugas living at Marineland of Canada that need to be rehomed. The move followed months of planning and veterinary checks. Specialist teams are now monitoring the whales as they settle into their new homes.
