ANSWER: Dolphins
 
After years of research on dolphin behavior and under pressure from animal rights groups, the National Aquarium in Baltimore has decided to move the marine mammals to a sanctuary, officials said on 15th June 2016.
  • It will be the first sanctuary for dolphins in North America.
  • The transfer from the aquarium in the Atlantic coast port city will not be done before 2020, they said.
  • The venue for the dolphins will be a protected coastal habitat, where the animals will continue to live under human care.
