CHICAGO SUN TIMES - The Shedd Aquarium has sent six tons of fish a flying, relocating seven whales and four dolphins to Connecticut. The move of the creatures -- mammals, actually -- aboard two FedEx air-cargo transports was necessary as the Shedd renovates its Oceanarium.
"Everybody's doing great,'' Shedd's Ken Ramirez said Monday, announcing the move to Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration.
The animals -- trucked from Shedd to O'Hare on Aug. 29 and Sept. 3 by a team of about 125 people -- were transported in waterproof containers that included hammocks to support the animals during transit. The cabin of the Airbus aircraft was kept at 50 to 55 degrees.
