Beluga Whale blows Bubbles Allya the Beluga whale at an aquarium in western Japan has learned to blow bubble rings. In the wild, some dolphins and whales blow bubble rings by inhaling air through their blowholes and releasing it through their mouths underwater. But thanks to scuba diving equipment, Allya can do it anytime. Allya clearly loves interacting with her audience. She aims the bubbles at spectators as they peer in through the glass. www.itnsource.com Reuters 2989/06 Tags: itnsource animals whales skill tricks training cute sweet family fun |

Beluga Birth It's a Bouncing Baby Beluga! Qila gave birth to her first calf at 4:28 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008. This newborn beluga is: about 1.5 metres long and weighs more than 50 kilograms (at birth) slate grey -- it will gradually lighten as it matures wrinkled for the first few weeks adorable Qila was born at the Aquarium on July 23, 1995, and is now a mom herself. Her trainers are monitoring her and the newborn calf to give her calf the best chance for survival. Watch a video of Qila's ultrasound on our YouTube channel. This is Qila's first calf and like any new mammal mom she is learning how to care for her baby. One of the first few milestones the veterinary staff will be looking for is bonding and nursing. In preparation for the birth, two of the belugas (Imaq and Kavna) were moved to the Aquarium's research area behind the scenes. The move gives Qila the space she needs to bond and nurse her calf. It also minimizes the distractions to her as she establishes a nursing pattern with her newborn calf. Aurora, Qila's mom, will stay with her as a companion. Imaq and Kavna will return to join Qila and her calf once the staff are certain that mom and calf are ready to widen their social circle. Imaq is the father of Qila's calf.

Beluga Whale Video Clip 1 The beluga whale is a small, toothed whale that is white as an adult. Beluga means "white one" in Russian. It is estimated that there are about 40,000 to 80,000 beluga whales world wide. St. Lawrence, Cook Inlet, and Alaskan belugas are classified as endangered. Belugas are threatened by pollution (DDT, PCB's, etc.) in estuary waters that they frequent and breed in. They have the most sophisticated bio sonar of all.

Oso polar a la caza de ballenas beluga Vea más en http://buenrato.blogspot.com/ Estos cetáceos cantarines son belugas o ballenas blancas y mantienen abierto el agujero en el hielo con sus movimientos pues emergen de las aguas para respirar constantemente. El respiradero está separado del océano por unos 30 km. de hielo que tardará dos meses en derretirse. Las belugas están extremadamente delgadas y muchas de ellas muestran horribles cicatrices. Pero sus heridas no han sido causadas por el hielo. Las ballenas son un magnífico trofeo para todo cazador y estas belugas, atrapadas en el hielo están al alcance de los osos polares. Conscientes del peligro, las ballenas blancas se sumergen todo lo posible. Pero estos cetáceos no aguantan la respiración más de 20 minutos. Cazar una ballena de 4 m. de longitud y una tonelada de peso no es fácil aunque la presa se halle medio muerta de inanición. Pero vale la pena intentarlo. Día tras día, el agujero en el hielo aumentará y el oso polar tendrá cada vez más difícil la captura. Tags: buenrato documentales animales curiosidades oso polar ballena beluga caza |

Beluga Sky Sail The MS Beluga SkySails, the world's first cargo vessel with the SkySails towing kite system, is being used for commercial transport for the first time. It will carry cargo from Bremen to Venezuela on behalf of DHL Global Forwarding, the ocean and air freight carrier of the Deutsche Post World Net Group. The vessel features a new wind propulsion system with a towing kite measuring up to 320 metres, that provides additional thrust for the ship at sea, a sustainable solution for reducing fuel consumption, costs and emissions. Depending on wind conditions, fuel costs can be lowered between ten and 35 percent. A small, 87-metre-long freighter would thus save an average of 280,000 Euros in fuel costs per year.

Beluga Whale Sign The Beluga Whale or White Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) is an Arctic and sub-Arctic species of cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the Narwhal. This marine mammal is commonly referred to simply as the Beluga or Sea Canary due to its high pitched squeaks. It is up to 5 metres in length and an unmistakable all white in color with a distinctive melon-shaped head. Taxonomy and evolution The Beluga was first described by Peter Simon Pallas in 1776. It is a member of the Monodontidae family, which is in turn part of the toothed whale suborder. The Irrawaddy dolphin was also once considered to be in the same family; however, recent genetic evidence suggests otherwise. The earliest known ancestor of the beluga is the prehistoric Denebola brachycephala from the late Miocene period. One single fossil has been found on the Baja California peninsula, indicating that the family once existed in warmer waters. The fossil record also indicates that in comparatively recent times the beluga's range has varied with that of the ice pack -- expanded during ice ages and contracting when the ice retreats. The Red List of Threatened Species gives both Beluga and White Whale as common names, though the former is now more popular. The English name comes from the Russian белуга (beluga) or белуха (belukha) which derives from the word белый (belyy), meaning "white". It is sometimes referred to by scientists as the Belukha Whale in order to avoid confusion with the Beluga sturgeon. The whale is also colloquially known as the Sea Canary on account of the high-pitched squeaks, squeals, clucks and whistles. ==Description== A Beluga Whale in the shallow waters of the Vancouver AquariumThis small whale can be up to 5 metres (16 ft) long, larger than all but the largest dolphins but smaller than most other toothed whales. Males are generally larger than the female - males can weigh 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) and females about 900 kg (one short ton). Newly-born belugas are about 1.5 m (5 ft) long and weigh 80 kilograms (176 lb).The baby beluga is usually born grey but not always. This whale is unmistakable when adult: it is all white and has a dorsal ridge rather than a fin. The head is also unlike that of any other cetacean - its melon is extremely bulbous and even malleable. The beluga is able to change the shape of its head by blowing air around its sinuses. Again unlike many dolphins and whales, the vertebrae in the neck are not fused together, allowing the animal flexibility to turn its head laterally. The belugas mouth is called the rostrum. The rostrum has about 8 to 10 teeth on each side of the jaw. The absence of the dorsal fin is reflected in the genus name of the species - apterus is the Greek word for "wingless". The evolutionary preference for a dorsal ridge in favour of a fin is believed by scientists to be adaptation to under-ice conditions, or possibly as a way of preserving heat. Like in other cetaceans the thyroid gland is relatively large compared to terrestrial mammals (three times per weight as a horse) and may help to sustain higher metabolism during the summer estuarine occupations. The body of the Beluga is rotund, particularly when well-fed, and tapers smoothly to both the head and tail. The tail fin grows and becomes increasingly ornately curved as the animal ages. The flippers are broad and short - making them almost square-shaped. Males become sexually mature at eight years, females at five. Seasonally polyestrus females give birth to a single calf in the spring after a gestation period of fifteen months with ranges found from 14.5 in the wild to 15-17 months in captivity. Young Belugas are uniformly dark grey in colour. The grey steadily lightens as they grow up - reaching their distinctive pure white colour by the age of seven in females and nine in males. The nursing period is about two years in length. The mating process is not properly understood. Testosterone levels in males have been found to be lowest in September and then rose to be highest in march with peak sperm production thought to occur perhaps in May or June if their physiology mimics other mammals. Mating certainly does occur during the winter or early spring, when the animals are still in their winter grounds or have begun their migration. However, mating occurs at other times, leaving open the possibility of delayed implantation.[citation needed] Belugas can live for up to fifty years.[1] Females in captivity have been found to conceive as old as 20 years. Beluga whales have a life expectancy of 25-30 years. Tags: Windy |
