SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Another dolphin has died at an aquatic facility in Scottsdale.
Dolphinaris Arizona announced Tuesday that a 10-year-old female bottlenose dolphin named Alia died Tuesday morning.
The cause of death hasn't been determined and facility staffers say a necropsy will be performed.
A 7-year-old male bottlenose dolphin named Bodie died Sept. 23 at Dolphinaris Arizona from a rare muscle disease.
Dolpinaris Arizona opened in October 2016 at the Odysea in the Desert complex on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
People pay for different interactive experiences with the dolphins both in the water and out of the water.
Dolpinaris currently has six dolphins at the facility.
