My Trip To Marineland In Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada (Photos)
September 1st, 2013 – My Trip To Marineland In Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada (Pictures)
I’m on a 2 weeks vacation in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, my host invited me to a trip to Canada’s most popular tourist attraction center in Niagara Falls.
My Saturday was so busy with tons of rides, attractions and shows at the Marineland.
Marineland is a themed amusement and animal exhibition park in the city of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
This is my second week here and I’m having a blast.
Sea mammals are very interesting animals, for sure. I am constantly surprised by their size and intelligence whenever I see them entertaining crowds.
Though I had fun, I kinda think most of the animals there are in captivity.
Trainer standing on a whale’s head @ marineland
The Beluga Whale you saw in the above picture was Kiska and she has been at Marineland for a long time. The last time you saw her she had a calf, it died. She has had 5 calves at Marineland and they all have died. Worse yet, all the other killer whales that used to be here are dead, long before they would have on average in the wild.
That “trainer” you see pictured standing on the whale’s head? That is unbelievably wrong. Their head, or melon is a sensitive flexible organ used for echolocation. Standing on it is not only disrespectful to these animals it is abusive.
These sea animals are extremely socially complex and highly intelligent, they do not belong in captivity and it is extremely cruel to keep them there.
I’m talking from a marine biologist perspective.
Sorry for my no show yesterday guys.
Oyinboland pretty o… chei! my people come and see sea lions dancing hip hop and dolphins dancing reggae.
I ‘m scheduled to go back to my motherland next week.
I dey tired tonight. Abeg make I sleep small.
Here are more photos from my trip… will update this list later in the day. I recorded some interesting clips I will be sharing as well.

the writer of this article is very observant, it`s pathetic the way animals are kept in captivity legitimately. Even lions and snakes in zoos are in bondage, this is the reason for their violent attacks on trainers sometimes.
I`ve been to Niagara falls on Canada side on many occasions but never been to the said Marineland. Where r u based in Toronto, any chance of meeting.
I`m based in Hamilton, few minutes from Toronto

I rather use my money and get myself a nice bungalow in cluj-napoca Romania where there is steady light and nice gypsy dance to watch than to wast it watching dolphin in one boring end.

Just to correct one wrong impression the trainer was standing on beluga whale not killer whale as you reported, they only have one killer whale in Marineland and she is retired and they do not use it for the show
