"The first beluga whale born at the Georgia Aquarium died Wednesday, less than a week after her birth, the Atlanta attraction said. The 82-pound beluga was underweight and had been in critical condition since her birth Friday and had been under 24-hour care from aquarium workers. The workers had reported the whale was improving steadily before her death. "This was a very sudden loss," said William Hurley, the aquarium's chief animal officer. "Her blood indicators suggested her little body was working the way it was supposed to. The level of how critical she was improved every day.""
