23岁的雌性白鲸Peekachu于周二在芝加哥谢德水族馆突然死亡 1。Peekachu是今年夏天从加拿大安大略省Marineland公园转移至该水族馆的8头白鲸之一 1。水族馆方面表示，将在尸检报告完成后尽快公布相关结果 1。
此次动物转移是加拿大政府今年1月批准的一项救援行动的一部分，旨在为Marineland的圈养白鲸和海豚寻找新家以避免被安乐死 1。Marineland已于2024年关闭，自2019年以来该公园已有20头鲸鱼死亡，其中包括19头白鲸和1头虎鲸 1。Peekachu一只眼睛失明，且与其他白鲸存在社交困难 1。除谢德水族馆外，接收Marineland动物的机构还包括亚特兰大乔治亚水族馆、圣安东尼奥和圣地亚哥的SeaWorld，以及西班牙瓦伦西亚海洋馆 1。
Peekachu, a 23-year-old female beluga whale, died suddenly on Tuesday at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago 1. She was transferred to the facility this summer as part of a rescue operation from the now-closed Marineland park in Ontario, Canada 1. The aquarium plans to release the necropsy findings as soon as the report is completed 1.
Peekachu was one of eight belugas transferred from Marineland to the Shedd Aquarium as part of a rescue plan approved by the Canadian government in January to find new homes for the park's captive belugas and dolphins and prevent them from being euthanized 1. Marineland, which closed in 2024, has seen the deaths of 20 whales, including 19 belugas and one orca, since 2019 1. Peekachu was blind in one eye and had difficulty socializing with other belugas 1. Other institutions receiving animals from the Canadian park include the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, SeaWorld parks in San Antonio and San Diego, and the Oceanogràfic in Valencia, Spain 1.
