FRANCE-TOURISM-ANIMALS-MARINELAND

An Orca performs at the marine theme park Marineland in Antibes, south-eastern France, on January 2, 2025. Marineland park will close its doors to the public permanently on January 5, 2025. Created in 1970 and located in Antibes, Marineland is the largest marine zoo in Europe. The November 2021 law "banning cetacean shows means that Marineland will have to envisage this closure" in January 2025, said the park, adding 90 percent of its visitors come for its orca and dolphin performances. Marineland has until December 2026 to part with its two remaining killer whales, Keijo and Wikie. (Photo by MIGUEL MEDINA / AFP) (Photo by MIGUEL MEDINA/AFP via Getty Images)
