Harbour porpoise rescued in 2008 dies at Vancouver Aquarium
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Aquarium says a harbour porpoise that died in its care on Thursday had a pulmonary disease, based on preliminary necropsy results.
“Daisy” was just a month old when rescued by the aquarium in 2008.
The aquarium says the preliminary necropsy results suggest the porpoise had pulmonary disease.
It had been receiving around-the-clock care after changes in its behaviour were noticed earlier this month.
