Was just regaled with the tale of the time former Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy did a presser in front of the beluga enclosure at Mystic Aquarium and then got upset that he was upstaged by a beluga. Which, frankly, strikes me as kind of the most likely outcome to a presser held in front of belugas

"These Arctic-dwelling cetaceans have an organ on their foreheads that’s referred to as the melon. It has long been a source of fascination to scientists, who’ve proposed a variety of theories over the years to explain its presence."

Belugas may be jiggling their melons to communicate
It's probably about sex.

It's great discovering that the man who would serenade us with songs about baby belugas and lost duckies on VHS as toddlers can be justifiably indignant.
In a way, it shows how much he always cares for his worldwide kids.

This was not something I'd expected but cool. If orcas can be radicalized, so, I wager, can baby belugas.

No one gets squished by Belugas. I am not even sure that they eat. They kind of just sit there all the time going "durrrrr".
Here is my drawing of a beluga whale doing what beluga whales do.

Happy Monday. If you take the train to Churchill MB to see the polar bears, a lot of the journey will look like this. This is morning sunrise after a good sleep on the train north from Winnipeg - winter is for polar bears (be sure to check out the bear jail) and summer is for belugas. #BlueSkyMonday
