Canada’s last captive whales set to leave Marineland for U.S. aquariums

Canada's final six beluga whales at Marineland are set to depart the country today, as the six marine mammals from the Niagara Falls, Ontario, park are en route to two U.S. aquariums. The relocation follows the closed resort's announcement that it is in financial distress and unable to maintain its animals. This marks the largest collective move of captive whales in history, with the six belugas and four dolphins transferring to five different aquariums across the United States and Spain.
