The old pool is now the indoor exhibit for the giant otters. The former beluga/commerson pool can still be seen behind the tiger enclosure (behind the wooden wall) if you peer through it at the left side.

Thanks! Why did Duisburg choose to go out of whales/commersons dolphins? I can see why with the Dolphins, but surely more Beluga whales could have been sourced?

You can't keep whales in bathubes, that's the reason why Duisburg phased them out.

Was the enclosure not adequate?
