The Mirage’s dolphin exhibit is shutting down following multiple deaths year…
You may have heard about the famous Las Vegas hotel’s unfortunate dolphin deaths throughout the last six months, one back in April, then another in September. Two was shocking — but a third on Saturday is now prompting officials to take more drastic measures to figure out what’s going on. In a memo issued to employees of the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat — and shared with People on Tuesday — Interim President Franz Kallao explained:
Kallao revealed 11-year-old bottlenose dolphin K2, who had been battling and receiving treatment for a respiratory ailment, tragically lost his life Saturday. He explained:
Several staff members had “watched him grow” from the time K2 was born up until his untimely passing, Kallao later noted. He added:
What a loss! Especially considering bottlenose dolphins have been documented living 60+ years in the wild! The average captive lifespan? Just under 13 years, according to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation. See a problem?

While an exact cause of death has not yet been determined, Kallao made it clear officials are investigating the tragedy alongside veterinarians and pathologists, in addition to taking a closer look at the health of the animals who still reside in the habitat, as well as the exhibit itself.
Kallao concluded his announcement:
K2’s death follows that of 19-year-old Maverick earlier this very same month, and 13-year-old Bella who passed back in April. FOX 5 Las Vegas noted at the times of these prior deaths they were both being treated for illnesses in the weeks leading up to their passings.
What a sad
