Visitors to Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium are naturally drawn to the dolphins and smiley white beluga whales that make the 3-milliongallon Abbott Oceanarium their home. People crowd against the railings, waving and grinning at the chirping belugas, or go below to watch dolphins plummet and glide through the blue depths.
