SAN DIEGO — A California aquarium says a beluga rescued from Marineland in Ontario has died, adding to the number of deaths of animals relocated over the summer from the now-closed Canadian facility. SeaWorld San Diego says in a Facebook post that Cyprus, a nine-year-old male beluga that arrived at the park on Aug. 22 stopped eating on Friday, and an ultrasound later determined the animal’s intestinal tract did not appear to be functioning normally. It says Cyprus had been doing well since his arrival, eating consistently and interacting with his trainers and animal care team, along with two other rescued belugas. But it notes belugas can mask discomfort or underlying concerns that are not immediately visible, and it says a full necropsy will be conducted.

Shortly after, a crane hoisted the more than 1,500kg beluga whale into a lorry to be shipped out of Canada to his new home, SeaWorld San Antonio - the last of 30 belugas and four dolphins to leave Marineland, a shuttered sea park near Niagara Falls. Marineland needed to find a new home for its whales. But when the Canadian government rejected its plan to sell them to China over concerns about animal welfare, the park's operations said they would have to be euthanised. That spurred an international rescue operation by several aquariums, leading to the largest ever transfer of captive whales this summer. But hopes that the animals were headed to a better life have been dampened by a number of deaths in the group. Photographer Carlos Osorio documented the move, which involved whales being flown to Chicago, Atlanta, San Diego, San Antonio and even Valencia in Spain.

That’s the very real scenario the beluga whales living at Marineland Canada found themselves in when the park closed in 2024 and could no longer take care of its residents. The whales faced the threat of euthanasia if they could not safely be relocated. Enter the heroes of our story: Representatives from Association of Zoos and Aquariums accredited aquariums, along with their respective governments, teamed up to safely transport all 30 whales to aquariums in the United States and Spain in the largest marine mammal rescue and transport mission in history.'Air Beluga'The logistics that have to go into a project like this can’t be overstated. Cooperation was necessary every step of the way between the aquariums and the Canadian, Spanish and U. S. governments to pull off a mission of this scale. That scale was amplified not only by the sheer number of animals needing transportation, but also by the fact that beluga whales are extremely large, heavy animals.
