• We believe the display of live animals, including cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), is vital to our educational mission and conservation goals. Live animals are tremendous ambassadors for their wild counterparts, inspiring people to care about them and their aquatic habitats when visitors meet them face to face. • Their presence in aquariums also contributes to research and their conservation in the wild. Every day of Aurora’s pregnancy adds to the very limited knowledge we have about beluga reproduction.
