Little Gray and Little White are two beluga whales that have lived in captivity at the Chengfeng Aquarium in Shanghai for over 10 years. These two animals were captured in the wild and brought to the aquarium, where they have been used for entertainment purposes. However, after a long campaign by British conservationists, Little Gray and Little White were finally released into a special reserve for marine mammals in Klettsvik Bay, Iceland.
The journey from China to Iceland was not an easy one. Little Gray and Little White had to be transported in special containers that were designed to keep them safe and comfortable during the long journey. Once they arrived in Iceland, they were carefully acclimated to their new environment, which included a large, open-water enclosure that was designed to mimic their natural habitat.
The release of Little Gray and Little White into the wild is a significant milestone for beluga conservation. These animals are highly intelligent and social creatures that require a large, natural environment to thrive. By releasing them into a special marine reserve, conservationists are giving them the opportunity to live out their lives in a more natural setting, where they can swim, play, and interact with other belugas.
Unfortunately, not all belugas are as lucky as Little Gray and Little White. Tieu Khoi and Tieu Bach are two belugas that are currently living in captivity in China. These animals were also captured in the wild when they were just two years old, and they have been living in captivity ever since. Because they are used to captivity, Tieu Khoi and Tieu Bach cannot survive in the ocean, so a special marine reserve is the most suitable place for them.
The plight of belugas in captivity is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. These animals are highly intelligent and social creatures that require a large, natural environment to thrive. By releasing animals like Little Gray and Little White into the wild, we are giving them the opportunity to live out their lives in a more natural setting, where they can swim, play, and interact with other belugas. Hopefully, this will inspire more people to take action to protect these amazing creatures and their natural habitats.
