Canada’s three remaining captive walruses have been moved to a new marine park in Abu Dhabi.
Marineland did not respond to questions, but pointed to its comments in the local paper, the Niagara Falls Review, that its walruses left the park with veterinary staff and the move was done “calmly.”
Marineland’s walrus move was sparked by the settlement of a decade-long legal battle with former trainer Phil Demers. Last September, the two sides settled shortly before a trial was set to begin. As part of the settlement, Marineland agreed to move the two walruses to another facility to be with other animals of their kind.
The agreement also said the walruses had to be moved to a facility accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
