beethoven+the+beluga+whale

Beethoven is a male, 14 year old, Beluga whale at the Point Defiance Zoo (PDZ) in Tacoma, Washington. He has just recovered from an illness, and veterinarians from the PDZ and Sea World provided the whale with intensive treatments that paid off. The doctors say they are seeing normal behavior and body weight once again. He has regained all his weight and then some, weighing in at 1,600 pounds. Part of his treatment included hand feeding him gruel laced with calorie-rich salmon oil for nutrition to ragain his weight back which was very successful. Unfortunatly though, Beethoven is going to go back to Sea World in California in June and will be missed by everyone here in Washington.

This was an interesting wiki., you should mention though, whether or not 14 is old for a whale. Also include what illness he is recovering from (if known), and how bad it was. You might also mention how big normal Beluga whales get and how their size compares to his/ their diet compared to his. Plus, you should mention why the thought of Beethoven getting sick was so scary. -Aundrea
