Beluga Whales Moved to Iceland Natural Habitat
Beluga whales in a Chinese marine park are to be moved to a natural habitat in Iceland.
UK-based company Merlin Entertainments says it does not want to keep beluga whales in its marine parks because they suffer in captivity.
But it has been under pressure over a park in Shanghai, China, which it has owned since 2012 and where two belugas perform.
It has long promised to move the marine mammals to a more natural home. But it had been saying that there was nowhere suitable - until now, that is.
