Aurek

Aurek is a male beluga currently residing at John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois. He was born at Marineland Ontario in Canada in 2003 to a female named Gemini and an unknown male, either Ben, Belyi, Andre, or Baffin. Aurek was transferred to SeaWorld Orlando in November of 2006, where he remained for almost 10 years before being transferred to Georgia Aquarium in February 2016. He sired a stillborn calf to Qinu while at the aquarium. In September of 2017, due to Qinu's pregnancy and challenges presented by housing neonates with adult males, he moved to his current residence at Shedd Aquarium, where he is the most likely sire of a currently pregnant female named Mauyak due to his status as the newest and largest male at the aquarium.
