What an amazing experience. Belugas are a beautiful white in color and very gently. About twelve feet in length, they hail from arctic regions. More pictures to come!

Can I get some type of prize for guessing right?
Two quick facts:
Unlike most whales, beluga whales are lacking a dorsal fin.
Its melon (the fatty lump of tissue on its forhead) is very large and is used in echolocation. The beluga is able to change the shape of the melon by blowing air around its sinuses.
wait a minute...how do you get to feed the whales and get that snazzy wetsuit?
E-man - You would have won an all-expenses paid trip to SeaWorld, but you misspelled its name!
Hyrax - Sorry, they don't let small furry animals do this.
The seaworld in san diego will let you do that with dolphins for $100 I believe.
And why does this particular baluga whale look like a giant marshmellow display?
It's $170, actually.
And it's bEluga, not bAluga.
By the way, it has the consistency of a shelled hard-boiled egg!
The older kids were *just* the other day reminiscing about Raffi's (yeah, the mumar) 'Baby Beluga!'
Can be heard (yeah, wait until after 10 Av) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mfgxNaPwZw
it was a favourite when they were younger!
Regards to all!
Raffi's (yeah, the mumar)
I thought he's Lebanese...?
"Born in Cairo, Egypt, to Armenian parents, he spent his early years in Egypt before emigrating with his family to Canada in 1958, eventually settling in Toronto, Ontario. His mother named him after the Armenian poet Raffi." - wiki
