Peekachu’s Passing and Marineland’s End | Canada News
Description
A heartbreaking update from Chicago: Peekachu, a 23-year-old beluga whale recently relocated from Marineland to the Shedd Aquarium, has died suddenly after showing signs of dehydration. Though treated with fluids and medication, she didn’t survive the night. Her death underscores the challenges of transitioning captive marine animals. Meanwhile, Marineland’s closure is nearing its final act — four dolphins and two belugas are being moved to an oceanarium in Valencia, Spain, marking the end of captive dolphins in Canada. Six more belugas remain at Marineland, set for relocation to U.S. facilities soon — signaling the end of an era for the once-iconic park, which shuttered in September 2024.
