Marineland Interactions 2009

[kitsunewolf16]

I love it when the killer whale sticks his tongue out an shakes his fins its so amazing i could never be able to have one come that close to me, except once, but a screaming little kid made it swim off XD

[faythelululemon]

They are really cute and adorable! They look so happy! oh and I was wondering, how did you make a video with photos? Or having different videos but transition to the next?

[bubblywums]

@faythelululemon They are very playful. I used a program called Roxio for this video, though I don't recommend it. It's nothing but a pain in the butt, haha.

Cool

[astridkitty1212]

Does the Niagara Falls Marineland still let you pet and hug orcas and belugas? I have wanted to hug both species for the longest time, and since I live close to Boston my freinds, boyfriend and I could in a few years potentially have the money and time to plan a trip there. Do they still let you hug the whales?

[bubblywums]

@astridkitty1212 No, you can only rub and touch the belugas head area at Marineland. They may do in water programs in the future with the belugas where you can go in the shallow water with them, but as of right now it's only petting and feeding sessions with the belugas.

[astridkitty1212]

@bubblywums At least you get to pet the belugas. There is a place that's closer to where I am, the Mystic Aquarium in the same CT town known for its pizza and the Julia Roberts film, where they let you go in the water with and hug the belugas for a fee. I'll probably go there sometime.

[bubblywums]

@astridkitty1212 Yeah Marineland might be doing that kind of thing in the future, they have to train the belugas to get used to having people around like that. :)

[astridkitty1212]

@bubblywums I sent you a friend request. Please accept it. In addition to belugas I have had many dreams at night of swimming with and hugging an orca. You say Marineland lets you pet belugas, but what about orcas? I want to exchange warm physical contact between both species!

[xSexcellencex]

Wow, Ike really loves you :D

Usually guests just bang on the glass or take pictures, I've never seen someone actually PLAY with them...must be a nice change :D

I bet they remember you, and everytime you come back they go OMG OMG THAT FUN CHICK IS HERE! TO THE GLASS!~

[bubblywums]

@xSexcellencex Haha, thanks for watching! I certainly love him, he is such a wonderful whale. He's getting so big! I love playing with them and they seem to enjoy being entertained. :D

[bennystropical]

Very good enjoy the video great job

"I absolutely LOVE it

[bubblywums]

@bennystropical Thank you! :)

[fredjelucas]

Beautiful video, makes me kinda sad though, to think I'll probablt never see Ike or any other killer whale from so close, let alone have those amazing interactions with them. Seriously makes me want to buy a ticket for a plane to Canada...

Anyways, enough 'bout me, Lovely video, and the music is gorgeous :)

[bubblywums]

@fredjelucas You never know what the future will hold! <3 Thank you for viewing!

[fredjelucas]

@bubblywums I hope it will hold a lot of orcas and belugas ;P

[orcaslive]

The cetacean ones are a few wonderful animals :)

[Shamu3692]

ikaika is so damn cute

[iSpeakOrca]

Oh, there she is, haha. ;3

[bubblywums]

@iSpeakOrca Haha, I was going to say! She is no where near as interactive as Ike, but she was very interested in slinkies! That was the first time she came over to me. :)

[iSpeakOrca]

Didn't Kiska want to interact?

[Dolphin8050able]

2:05 Great pic!

[bubblywums]

He's a very smiley guy!

Thank you!

[AnkhOrcaLover]

Awesome photos and videos ^^

You must be happy, when you interacting with these animals. : D

[bubblywums]

Most definitely, there's nothing better!

[DesireeCullen]

I LOVE the earring and I have the same stuffed dolphin too =D

[bubblywums]

Marineland is my excuse to wear my orca earrings! And that dolphin is from Shedd Aquarium. :D Did you get yours there?

[DesireeCullen]

Haha! =D No actually I got my dolphin at Orlando in one of the gift stores there.

[bubblywums]

Oh awesome! That's funny that the same stuffed animal is at both places. :D

[ZeroGal5]

wow, you must go there alot, it seemed that all those animals recoginzed you, escpecially Ikaika. it looked like you two were having a ball, i loved it when you two were playing hide and go seek. great vid! :)

[bubblywums]

I went 6 times this year, I just love being around the whales and dolphins. They are so enchanting and make me so happy. Hopefully I give them some entertaining as well!

That was the first time I had ever seen him do that, I was laughing so much.

[Suazovic]

Really! I see Belugas almost everyday!

[Suazovic]

I bet Marineland has a better zoological collection than SeaWorld!

[bubblywums]

Marineland and SeaWorld both bring excellent things to the table, they are completely different when it comes to operation. Marineland has a lot more belugas while SeaWorld has a lot more orcas.

[sparklywindsield88]

Aww! I love how Ikaika sticks her tounge out!

[bubblywums]

Seriously the best interaction I've ever had with him, it was so unexpected!

[sh4310b]

hay are all so beautiful

true beauty

[bubblywums]

Most definitely. :)

[Orkid8591]

You are so lucky. :)

[bubblywums]

Thank you! I cherish my time with them so much.

[marinebeauties12]

Awesome video. I give this 6 stars. I wish I can go to Marineland.

[bubblywums]

I hope one day you get to go, it is so worth it.

Thank you!

[ShamuFan20]

I LOVE when you interact with Ikaika! it looks like u made a killer whale friend! :DD

[bubblywums]

Thank youuu! Ike is my buddy, or at least I like to think he is. ;) He has the greatest personality.
