Story summary

A nine-year-old male beluga whale named Cyprus, who was one of three belugas relocated from the now-closed Marineland park in Niagara Falls, Ontario to SeaWorld San Diego on August 22, died unexpectedly at the California aquarium. Cyprus had been eating consistently and interacting well with trainers since his arrival but stopped eating two days before his death. An ultrasound revealed that his intestinal tract was not functioning normally, indicating a serious health issue despite initial good acclimation. A full necropsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. This incident adds to concerns about animal welfare during mass relocations from closed facilities.
