Uno de los aspectos m\u00e1s importantes para llevar a cabo un viaje a\u00e9reo internacional sin precedentes con cuatro belugas es asegurarse de que ni siquiera se den cuenta de que est\u00e1n de viaje. \u00abEl objetivo es que se den cuenta lo menos posible\u00bb, refiere Karisa Tang, veterinaria jefe y vicepresidenta de salud animal del Acuario Shedd de Chicago.<\/p>\n

Tang y Charlie Jacobsma, director de comportamiento y adiestramiento animal del Shedd, acompa\u00f1aron a las belugas Acadia, Lillooet, Osiris y Sierra desde las instalaciones donde viv\u00edan, cerca de las Cataratas del Ni\u00e1gara, hasta el aeropuerto Pearson de Toronto y, de ah\u00ed, a Chicago. Otras dos belugas se incorporaron al viaje a bordo del Boeing 777 de carga fletado para la operaci\u00f3n, aunque despu\u00e9s fueron trasladadas a un acuario de San Antonio.<\/p>\n

Las ballenas viv\u00edan en Marineland de las Cataratas del Ni\u00e1gara, un conocido acuario y parque de atracciones con d\u00e9cadas de historia que se declar\u00f3 en quiebra tras la muerte de sus propietarios y cerr\u00f3 al p\u00fablico en 2024. Al quedarse sin fondos para cuidar de los animales, el parque pidi\u00f3 ayuda al gobierno canadiense. En 2025, Marineland anunci\u00f3 que hab\u00eda tomado la \u00abdevastadora decisi\u00f3n\u00bb de considerar la eutanasia si no lograba reubicarlos.<\/p>\n

Para entonces, expertos en acuarios y biolog\u00eda marina ya discut\u00edan qu\u00e9 hacer. En enero de 2026, miembros del equipo de rescate viajaron a Ontario para evaluar c\u00f3mo transportar a las belugas. En junio, Canad\u00e1 lleg\u00f3 a un acuerdo con Marineland para permitir su reubicaci\u00f3n en un consorcio de acuarios de Georgia, San Diego y Espa\u00f1a, adem\u00e1s de las ballenas ya trasladadas a instituciones de Chicago y Texas. Fue una misi\u00f3n sin precedentes. \u00abYa se hab\u00edan trasladado belugas antes, pero nunca se hab\u00eda hecho algo de esta magnitud\u00bb, explica Tang.<\/p>\n

Todo transcurri\u00f3 con la mayor fluidez posible al trasladar mam\u00edferos acu\u00e1ticos<\/a> de m\u00e1s de 450 kilos a lo largo de cientos de kil\u00f3metros: \u00abUn despegue suave y perfecto, y un aterrizaje tranquilo\u00bb, declar\u00f3 Jacobsma a WIRED. El equipo se mantuvo cerca de las ballenas, vigil\u00e1ndolas constantemente y \u00abech\u00e1ndoles agua en el lomo para asegurarse de que estuvieran c\u00f3modas\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Unos d\u00edas despu\u00e9s del traslado, en una soleada tarde de viernes, los visitantes de la secci\u00f3n del Oceanario del Shedd se encuentran con carteles en los que se pide silencio. \u00abPor favor, hablen en voz baja. Ayuden a las belugas rescatadas a aclimatarse a su nuevo hogar\u00bb, se lee en los carteles. WIRED ech\u00f3 un vistazo a un h\u00e1bitat apartado, que se encuentra bajo vigilancia las 24 horas del d\u00eda por parte de veterinarios y otros expertos en vida marina, donde Acadia, Lillooet, Osiris y Sierra se encuentran actualmente fuera de la vista del p\u00fablico para que sus nuevos cuidadores puedan centrarse en ayudarlas a adaptarse a su nuevo hogar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
