I have a regular blog visitor who is quite a fan of Marineland and he often sends me some notes of what he sees. Here are some of his comments/observations from a recent trip:
- Kiska is not pregnant, confirmed by staff, trainers and tank supervisor. Kiska is only lapping around her tank, gained some weight but NOT pregnant
- MLC employees know nothing of Shouka rumor (check the May 22 news item on orcahome)
- Tofino and Charmin (belugas) sent to stadium, performing in show once training is finished later this year
- No beluga pregnancies confirmed yet
- Eve, Neva, Charlotte and Mira , who are turning 3 (not Eve, she is 3 going on 4) this year are now at Friendship Cove, as part of weaning process from mothers.
- Dock (sea lion) is presumed dead (Check MLC Fans)
- Skyla’s calf still unnamed; Jubilee’s calf also un-named
- Caspian recovered from stillbirth in September
From what I saw at the underwater viewing area, expect some Beluga pregnancies soon 😉
– Xena and Lillooet confirmed pregnant
-Gemini rumoured pregnant
-Sierra has given birth June 11th 2012
-Gemini is pregnant, 3 ladies due summer 2012
