Seven beluga whales are moving from Marineland to a new home in the US.

Marineland started the second part of its plan to move the whales, after six belugas were moved to aquariums in Chicago and San Antonio.

The seven whales being moved are female belugas named Xena, Gemini, Skyla, Meeka, Eve, Neva, and Calypso, and they are all going to SeaWorld in San Antonio.

The park says the health and safety of the whales are the most important things during the move.

One of Marineland's advisers says the move is very special and involves many people and special equipment.

Marineland has been closed to the public since 2024 and is trying to sell the park.

The park says it does not have enough money to take care of the whales.

Marineland tried to send its belugas and dolphins to an aquarium in China, but the plan was stopped.

Marineland said it would have to put down the belugas if it did not get emergency money.

The park made a deal with some aquariums in the US and Spain to move the whales. The aquariums worked out a plan to move the whales. The park was happy with the plan.

The first group of whales was moved on July 20.

Before the move, Marineland had 30 belugas and four dolphins, which was the largest group of captive belugas in the world.
