The provided link said she was sick which made it look like she was pregnant.

Instead, they kept her in a tiny “aquarium,” which is just a small room of fish tanks of aquatic animals that shouldn’t be there. They kept her because she was making tons of money. Had they sent her to a proper pacific research aquarium that is knowledgable about her species, she may not have died. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Salvo@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago Poor Charlotte. permalink fedilink source parent
