Kavna the whale reportedly died from a possible cancer-related illness, the Huffington Post reported.

The 46-year-old whale lived a long and happy life in the Vancouver Aquarium. In fact, Aquarium workers told The Canadian Press that belugas typically live 25 to 30 years. Aquarium officials even believe that Kavna may have been even older than her estimated age.
