Beluga Tricks

Via Jezebel:

"Belugas or white whale pose with oranges on their heads to display like a rice cake offering at the New Year's day in Japan as part of a preparation to welcome the New Year at the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise aquarium in Yokohama in Kanagawa prefecture, suburban Tokyo on December 30, 2009. Sea animals are now trained for the attraction for the upcoming New Year. YOSHIKAZU TSUNO/AFP/Getty Images"

The guy on the right's not doing so hot. Don't worry buddy! Practice makes perfect!

A Little White Whale on the Go

Peep this baby beluga you guys. Oh my god.

He was just born in Chicago (breach, no less!), and I guess baby b's have a kinda high infant mortality rate, so think good thoughts for him!

P.S. "Baby Beluga" is a really good song.

Look at this Skinny Minnie

Check out this baby blue whale! He's soooo long and skinny! He looks like a guy with a mustache sipping through a straw. (Think about it.) (Tail = looks like a mustache!)



These dudes are about 25 ft long when they're born. Did you know baby blue whales gain 200 lbs a DAY????? FATTIES!
