Four Belugas Arrive at Chicago Shedd | Chicago News

Four new beluga whales have arrived at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, rescued from the now-shuttered Marineland of Canada as part of a critical mission to save this endangered species. Transported by truck and plane, they join four others who arrived last month — all females — in a bold effort to give these marine mammals a safer, more nurturing home. The Shedd is closely monitoring their adaptation, watching for signs of comfort like eating, socializing, and exploring. With space for up to ten belugas in the Abbott Oceanarium, this rescue represents a major commitment to conservation and animal welfare.
