SeaWorld San Diego said Cyprus, a nine-year-old male beluga whale, died unexpectedly after he stopped eating. The park said an ultrasound showed his intestinal tract was not functioning normally, which could indicate a serious life-threatening condition, and that veterinarians worked through the night to stabilize him. Cyprus was one of three male belugas moved on Aug. 22 from Marineland Canada, a shuttered park in Niagara Falls, Ontario. SeaWorld said a full necropsy will be conducted and the cause shared with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
