- A 23-year-old beluga named Peekachu died days after being moved to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium as part of a rescue relocation from Ontario's closed Marineland.
- Peekachu had shown early signs of improvement after the long, closely monitored transport but suddenly became dehydrated and died while caretakers tried to revive her.
- The moves aim to rehome about 30 belugas and four dolphins from Marineland — which has recorded about 20 cetacean deaths since 2019 — to facilities in the U.S. and Spain; a necropsy report is pending.
