BELUGA WHALE SPRAYS WATER!

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 8 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This is the female whale again - she seems to be the smartest out of the three of them! Here she went to the corner of the pool and sprayed water over an eight year old boy who volunteered to stroke her head over the glass barrier (Mackintosh supplied for him by the Aquarium staff). I couldn't get a shot with the boy in it for people. But it is a delightful part of the show! After that she showed her tail - or so I thought - but as she came down she swiped the water with her tail and showered the child even more! :-)

Tomorrow she soaks her trainer with the same tricks! Come back and see!

Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!

Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
