After nearly nine months “on vacation,” our beluga whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins and Alaska sea otters are back home. We’ve also welcomed new animals to the Oceanarium family, including two California sea lions, temperate-weather penguins, a new Pacific white-sided dolphin and a variety of Pacific Northwest fishes and invertebrates.
Animal care is our top priority. Whether they were moved by road, by air, or by a combination of the two, all of the animals traveled safely and quickly, thanks to careful planning and the training we did with them before they were moved.
Join us on May 23, when Shedd reopens the Oceanarium with a weekend-long celebration.

Shedd’s Alaska sea otters, one of which is an Exxon Valdez oil spill survivor, have returned from their “vacation” at the Minnesota Zoo.

How do you transport seven beluga whales, two Pacific white-sided dolphins, and two California sea lions? By FedEx, of course. Thanks to some help from the world’s largest cargo carrier, FedEx planes brought Shedd’s precious cargo back to Chicago.
