Beluga Showing Her Blow Hole

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 7 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

She is really heavy to get up so high out of the water when asked to show us her blow hole!

Nice shot, I am trying to fathom out which is the hole and which is the eye

that's some mean sheets of glass,and you were a lucky bunny,not to get hurt ,pal....
All I can suggest is to replace it with plain glass and use a glass etching kit from your local hardware store.it's quite a simple process(google it)..
b.t.w.are you sure this Beluga Baby ain't rubber..hee hee..

@bronzebilly u.k.: Hi Billy! Yes I've found a local cabinet maker who will be able to fix it and set the hinges in right etc. and drill a hole for the handle. It will have to be plain glass though! These cabinet makers charge an arm and two legs for repair work. I was lukcy - the edge bounced on the top of my foot before it hit the floor. I needed you there with your camera to take a photo of me looking silly left holding the knob in my hand lol
The Beluga's do look a bit rubbery - but they are not. It's the big layer of blubber under the skin that makes them look this way! Ooh! that would make a good name for BlubberBilly! lol
