Cetaceans are transported suspended in a large tarpaulin, with only the flippers poking through. Throughout the journey, they are being showered with sea water to protect the skin. A crane then lifts them out of the truck but still inside the tarpaulin, placing the water inside the water where it will then be released.
An open tank woul certainly be nicer on the whales, but they are VERY powerful animals and the last thing you want in the back of your truck is a whale thrashing about for all it's worth.

one big freakin' strork!
actually they drug it, net it, beat it into submission, dehydrate it, transport it, and then toss it in a new tank.

That's all handled by UPS. What can Brown do for you?
