SeaWorld said it is bringing in a number of walruses from zoos and aquariums for its massive new park in Abu Dhabi that is set to open some time this year
“Their brand-new, state-of-the-art habitat is designed specifically for the species, enabling the walruses to live in an enhanced social structure within a dynamic ecosystem that includes fish and other marine animals,” SeaWorld wrote in a statement.
Details of the transaction weren’t disclosed, but Marineland’s export permits obtained by The Canadian Press show their walruses were not sold to SeaWorld, but leased for at least one year. Demers denied trespassing and plotting to steal the one-tonne walrus. He countersued for defamation and abuse of process. Marineland denied those claims.
“She gets to leave and go to a brand new state-of-the-art building where money and budget is rarely a question,” he said. “So there’s elements to being really happy.”“I’m quite emotionally overwhelmed,” he said. “It weighs a bit heavy because this has been a long pursuit – a decade – for a dream to get her out. And now there are no more captive walruses in Canada.”The deal also included a final visit with Smooshi for Demers.
