Unfortunately, he did not survive his transport.
Leaving the Seine after a perilous operation that lasted all night, the beluga had been placed in the back of a truck which took the road to Ouistreham (Calvados) at dawn, the next stage in the race against the watch to save this cetacean in an "alarming" state of health.
Upon its arrival in Calvados, the animal weighing around 800 kg had to be installed in a seawater lock where it was to stay for several days before being released into the open sea.
