I am sorry for the loss of Earth. As Earth was so happy to be with Stella and Lynn over the years he was there at Port Of Nagoya Public Aquarium. As Lynn remains alone, hopefully both Stella and Ran will be moved to be with her as for her mother and sister it would be well for Lynn. As probably be good if the two lone orcas Naja
That lives at Moskvarium needs orca companionship and Kshamenk at Mundo Marino needs orca companionship as they’d be good to be moved to Port Of Nagoya Public Aquarium although you may want to try to import at Marineland antibes Wikie and Keijo and the twelve dolphins need a new home too. Your place be a good home for them.
