Tuvaq
was born on July 20th 2002 at Vancouver Aquarium and was the son of
Aurora and Imaq. Only a few days before his third birthday Tuvaq suddenly
passed away. Just a few hours before his death Tuvaq had eaten and seemed
healthy. Later it appeared that his body had destroyed his red blood corpuscles
too fast which had caused serious problemes in his body.
