| Summary: | Kia and Sikku arrived by plane about 10 a.m. EST at Kelly Air Base, 12 miles from Sea World, said its curator, Glenn Young. The animals, which were monitored en route by veterinarians, were not showing any problems, he said. The whales were placed in acclimation tanks apart from 10 other beluga already at Sea World. They will stay in the tanks for an undetermined number of days, then join the other whales in the display tank. Kia and Sikku will be on "breeding loan" to Sea World, and the National Aquarium has reserved the rights to any offspring. |
