Li'i, dolphin who shared tank with Lolita, moves from Seaquarium to SeaWorld San Antonio.
Li'i, the Pacific white-sided dolphin who was a companion to the orca whale Lolita at the Miami Seaquarium, was transferred to the San Antonio SeaWorld the two aquariums announced Monday.
Li'i spent 35 years at the Seaquarium and was the last of his kind left at the aquarium. Two other dolphins were moved from the Seaquarium to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago earlier this month, according to the Miami Herald.
"After the departure of Lolita, our animal care experts suggested his relocation to a habitat with other peers of his species and our efforts to look for his well-being took him to SeaWorld in San Antonio," the Seaquarium said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Animal activist sought sanctuary, SeaWorld claims expert care
Lolita, with whom Li'i once shared a tank, was one of the oldest orcas in captivity before her death earlier this year. Animal activists fought for the freedom of both animals for decades, arguing that they deserved to return to their respective homes in the Pacific Northwest.
