Swiss

Swiss is 19 year old male beluga whale. He is 1,553 kg. and 5.3 m. in total. Being one of our goofiest animals, he is one of our trainer's favorites- though he does sometimes completely ignore them.

Swiss was born in the Yukon River (Canada). When he was only a year old he was captured from his pod. Swiss was transported to Ocean World Parks and Fun, where he lived with 3 orcas- Yvaine, Twilight, and Ilta. He did have a tiny bond with Ilta, though not much. He learned to mimic orca sounds along with most behaviors he knows today.

When Ocean World Parks and Fun shutdown, he was sold to Aquatic World- such with Yvaine. He grew close to Zinnia and Magnolia- the other members of the Aquatic World pod- and eventually sired a single calf to each of them. Both were stillborn, however.

When Swiss was 18 he sired his first successful calf, Clover, to Zinnia. Clover is strong, healthy, and very curious, showing no signs of poor health.

Swiss is usually found with Zinnia and Clover, though sometimes Magnolia. He usually is relaxing in the shade of the play pool or playing around in the UV with visitors. He does get a few minor sunburns, but rarely. He is in perfect health and an amazingly smart, funny, and kind beluga.
