  2. Wasn't this #NovaScotia sanctuary site ruled too polluted (with arsenic and mercury from old gold mines) a couple of months ago? Is everyone hurrying now for any quick option? Wish a colder inland inlet could've been constructed, but maybe this will work. #belugas #NiagaraFalls #Canada🇨🇦

  5. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it's not obvious to me. Why can't we release the #Marineland #belugas into the wild?

  9. On June 19, 14-year-old Miranda and 15-year-old Plombir were rescued from Kharkiv's <<<Nemo>> and transported to Europe's largest #oceanarium. At the time, #Kharkiv had been severely damaged by ongoing russian strikes, and the #dolphinarium had been without power for days, forcing the #belugas to swim in warm water instead of their natural Arctic environment.

    Miranda and Plombir are now settling into their new home in #Valencia, #Spain.

    "menopause is something of an evolutionary blip. We are one of the few #animals to experience it... There are five species of toothed #whales that undergo menopause — short-finned #PilotWhales, #FalseKillerWhales, #KillerWhales, #narwhals and #belugas — making it the type of animal that is known to have evolved menopause most frequently."

  14. Even if a whale does surface for a photo, a 12.5-meter North Atlantic right whale only appears as an 83-pixel smudge on the sharpest satellite images.

  16. "As global warming causes Arctic waters to heat up and sea ice to melt, #MarineAnimals adapted to a cloistered life are threatened by the arrival of other #aquaticmammals and by increases in human activity.

    The three #whale species that live in the #arctic year-round— #narwhals, #belugas and #bowheads—are particularly at risk."
