I have photos that can be added. Nice small aquarium with mostly local species. Very nice collection of pinnipeds and a half decent polar bear exhibit. It is currently undergoing renovations to build a new tropical section I think?? Either way, I will post pics once the album is made.
Polar bear Taiga has a new mate. Yelle arrived from Zoo Sauvage Feb 19th to swap with Eddy. Eddy is already breeding with Aisaqvak and up next may be Milak. Perhaps these new pairings will create some success.
Polar bears Taiga and Yelle have been introduced and mating has been observed already. Fingers crossed for the new pair.
Really exciting news out of the aquarium. Two of its female walruses are pregnant and expected to give birth this spring. The Aquarium du Québec is expecting new arrivals -- QUÉBEC, March 9, 2016
Here is a little bit more on the walrus pregnancies. Quebec City aquarium celebrates two rare walrus pregnancies - The Globe and Mail
The first walrus calf has been born. It is doing well but the first 48 hours will be critical. They don't know the gender yet. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/business/cnw/release.html?rkey=20160507C6982&filter=5609
The female walrus calf has taken her first swim and the aquarium is looking for suggestions for names for both calves. Meet Canada's 1st baby walrus born in captivity - Montreal - CBC News
The walrus calves are moving to Vancouver Aquarium. Necropsy results and future arrivals announced at Vancouver Aquarium
The move of the walruses has sparked anger from an animal rights group, predictably. Walrus calves' big move sparks calls for aquarium boycott
Considering they've already been weaned and the fat that it would be good for the older bull if he could use the common area, any sort of anger they have is completely misplaced. It's certainly not a "christmas promotion" seeing as they won't be available to public viewing until next year.
