  • Beluga whale: o:3

  • belugaaaa

  • I love belugas they are sooooo cute

  • Still, I really enjoyed this video. The belugas brought a smile to my face (:

  • @BlackOrb458 I am not an animal activist nut/extremist and I do approve of zoos because I think what you said was exactly right - we wouldn't get to see a lot of animals without zoos. However I think the key issue here is to keep animals that can cope with captivity, and it is arguable that beluga whales aren't doing well in aquariums. And for the record, you can't compare dogs, cats and goldfish to beluga whales because they are domesticated pets who respond well to captivity.

  • @BlackOrb458 As for Beluga Whales, according to a report published by World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, most belugas found in aquaria are caught in the wild, as captive breeding programs have enjoyed little success. As of now, only TWO beluga whales have been successfully bred in captivity at the Vancouver Aquarium.

  • @BlackOrb458

    It is true that Keiko wound up starving because she was in captivity for so long and she didn't know how to fend for herself anymore. However, it isn't true that most aquarium animals are born in captivity. In fact, SeaWorld has been the only organization that has been relatively successful in getting killer whales to breed in captivity... the rest of the aquariums in the world still obtain their aquarium animals by capturing them from the wild.

  • FREE the Belugas !!!! They don't deserve be captives.

  • tell me dyz aint cute

  • When i see them all i can think of is "herp derp hurrrr"

  • THUMBS UP If you came searching for them because of ELLEN :P

  • HAIKU

    I hatch! Crawl! And swim!

    Oh how I love my sweet life,

    Don't pollute my home.

  • @StephanieLisaTara That's actually not bad! Nice! I could never even make a haiku.

  • I did a program with two of these beautiful animals they were so curious that even though I was a stranger to them they came right up to me and I was able to pet them. I love balugas their head is so cool too ^_^

  • I love all animals! I just can't imagine the World without them. I wish people were wisier and could see how important animals are.

    And I love how all of those African tribes always respect animals they have to kill to survive, while so called "civilized people" take animals for granted.

  • Most ceteans like belugas are not born at zoos, they were caught in the wild. Some are caught in the most horrible way i.e. in Taiji. Ever heard of the movie "The cove"? Keeping these intelligent and sentient beings in a zoo to make them to stupid tricks to entertain humans is arrogant and ignorant.

  • this is the cheesiest music i've ever heard in my life. but belugas r cute, so, i'm willing to forgive u. :D

  • MY EYESSS!!! ITS JUST SO FRICKEN ADORABLE!!! AGH!!

  • that would look so good on a plate mmmm

  • They remind me of porpoises

  • They are adorablee

  • they look weird but sooo cute...

  • ew,

  • the beautiful beluga whale!!!

  • belugas are my favorite whales!!!

  • sooooo cute!!!

  • i do want them to be free but this is supposed to be video comments, and i think the video was awesome even though they are not free

  • belugas have one of the best meat in the world i have tasted them many times.

  • @LifEjEE1H Then you should try some human meat!!!! FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @theodorakisedu Nice idea! Humans deserve it anyways.

  • KAWAII!

  • I had a stuffed animal called "belugi" when i was a kid. HE was furry and white

  • beluga whales look like they have downs syndrome. just saying.

  • I go to SeaWorld twice a year and get in the water with beluga whales. Its soo amazing

  • wtf am i watching...

  • thats so intense could use some different music tho no offense on your choice but i had to mute it

  • Beautiful creatures....

  • they are so beautiful! <3

  • ALL WHALES SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE WITH THEIR PODS IN THE OCEAN.

    CAPTIVITY OF THESE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT BEINGS IS WRONG

  • @jylforsyth Dont be so foolish. Did you know most zoo and aquarium animals are born at zoos? They dont know what the ocean is. They tried to "free" Keiko (Willy in the movies) and he wound up starving and dying of pnemonia. These animals live comfortable fulfilling lives, with all the food they want, vet care, and a team of servants (trainers) to wait on them 24-7.  You wouldn't know what a beluga is without zoos. So unless you want to free all the dogs,cats,goldfish etc. in the world. shut up!

  • @BlackOrb458 i didnt know that about keiko thats really sad actually

  • @BlackOrb458 That's a very wierd way of thinking... If we're breading animals in their not natural environment, it's ok because they've always been living in a cage? Then it would be ok to raise your children in a cellar, if only they would get their toys, food, love and healthcare?

    My point is, the only animals we should keep behind bars is humans comiting crimes..

  • @BlackOrb458 I agree, as long as they have a big enough aquarium to play in! I've seen some really sad animals in tiny aquariums.. including whales. :( Even if for generations they have lived in captivity their bodies still need plenty of exercise and most, if not all, of their instincts are still there.

    Just imagine if you and a group of humans lived in a small house together without ever being able to go outside.. even if you didn't know any better.. they probably wouldn't feel very good

  • @BlackOrb458 sorry but Keiko was on death's door when he was freed. at least he got to swim in the ocean and get people to really care for him. he was in a tank for crying out loud! have you ever heard of quality of life?

    he had a terrible skin disease, was incredibly and dangerously underweight and seriously living a tragic life when they tried to rehabilitate him.

    and FYI, dogs, cats goldfish etc. aren't wild animals. and i know what a beluga is w/out ever seeing one in a zoo because i read!

  • @BlackOrb458 Any of this is actually not true. Most of Whales and Dolphins are from the wild. Why? Coz they dont breed well in captivity and if they do 9/10 new borns die. There are wild Dolphins held captive in Taiji as we speek and wild Belugas in Russia waiting to be transported to an aquarium in Hong Kong. In your argument we should put all Humans in jails. They would be safe, have all the food they want, medical care and a team of guards to take care of theyr every need. Right?

  • @BlackOrb458 YOU ARE A FOOL. go watch "the cove" i freaking DARE YOU. most animals are purchased by zoos.

    dogs and cats are domesticated. beluga whales are not. i should keep you in a 20x20 bedroom your whole life. i bet it would be comfortable. you could walk in circles. no worries, they'll be food too. it'll be fun.

  • it looks not dangerous but will attack so as the other creatures that got pissed off

  • @xogeneva What for? Do you want every stranger patting your head? How would you feel?

  • Absolutely disgusting. Especially when you watch how they catch them.

  • So cute, it's just a shame they're in captivity.

  • @ritsukaRainbow you never know it could be a refuge center, thats what i would open...

  • @ritsukaRainbow I know, but sometimes we must keep some of these incredible in captivity. Some creatues must be protected.

  • they look like they have afro heads haha

  • omg they look so chill! I wanna be a beluga now :(

  • so cutteeeeee

  • and how the fck you could watch them and get known them if they would be free idiot ? fkn green peace jerk

  • @kar0shi On IMAX, documentaries, that type of thing jerk. Have you heard of technology?

  • 0:24 LOL

  • Those are like the happiest animals on earth

  • Comment removed

  • @yoljarvi oh so u dont like um well ur meen they are at sea world and my teacher went there and i got 2 pet the bluga whale and u cant eat um

  • I can't help but smile when I see this :)

  • They kinda wanna make me dance xD Lmao

  • awwww son tan lindas!!!

  • I love whales and dolphins, but for me they are beautiful only if they are free. They belong to the ocean, and they can't be happy, if they aren't free together with their families.

  • @magda010195 this is such a pile of shit

  • @iamobtuse1 you are such a pile of shit

  • @metallicbehttlo hello ur talking about a bluga whale not some on else go find a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • naw, its simple as pie man! you plant your feet on the ground look her square in the eye and you say "hey! baby, you and me's going on a date, thats the end of the story!

  • they look like fat dolphins :D

  • A dolfin with a huge bump on the head

  • Some people are stupid by saying they should be wild i mean honestly,These animals are captive bred,yeah they were caught once but not now! If you put these in the ocean it would be like a death sentence....So why doesn't everyone shut up about them! If half of the animals weren't in captivity most of the animals would go extinct and then you would complain about that too! So why don't you just stop commenting and enjoy watching the planets beauties! No pleasing some people...

  • They look so aware don't they. I think that's where their intelligence lays.

  • aww hermosas Belugas me enCantann!!!

  • those are creatures

  • They were made based on the A330 Beluga.

  • Beluga's are too fukin cute. >u<

  • We call my dog a beluga whale because he's white and has a cute little face like the. He's also deaf, so he makes noises like a whale :)

  • LOL there like deformed dolphins

  • @lightcillitbulb yes they are and they have the intelligence too

  • they're sooooo cute, I like their big head >u< and it was soo cute when they kissed and when one of them dived in and just wagged his tail ^^

  • 1:00 i died of adorableness

  • Es genial además me viene geniaaaal!!

  • I eat those. :/

  • Awwwww Beluga Whales are so adorable

  • Such Fascinating Creatures!!

  • and the beluga SURFACES!

  • arent belugas just really small whales?

  • @jamima444 boo hoo whine some more. theyre taken well care of

  • @samuriguy909 aye thats seaworlds motto too

  • They could have been rescued!

  • @jamima444 so they can become even more endangered by pollution?

  • Comment removed

  • @jamima444 best case scenario all animals could be free. but thats impossible now. we have created our world and without having some animals in captavity some would be extinct from poaching, the enviroment, lack of food. ect.. its our fault its that way but thats how it is.. secondy alot of animals in captavity are ones that were either born there or were originally found hurt ect. ( fo the best of my knowledge )

  • well if they were in the water they might get caught in oil spill or hunters might catch them

  • well if they were in the water they might get caught in oil spill or hunters might catch them.

  • @jamima444 You're right! Animals just doesn't belong in captivity!

  • @jamima444 except now they are so used to humans they would stray too close to humans who would cause them harm and get themselves turned into beluga fillets. that goes for any animal in captivity. once they lose their hesitation of humans they are not as safe in the wild as a wild born beluga. its the same principle as feeding a wild animal only much worse.

  • @jamima444 they look like theyre smiling tho

  • @jamima444 What led you on to believe they free anyway?

  • @jamima444 dude, if they were set free at this point they would probably die. They are too used to getting hand fed, they wouldnt know what to do. Quit yer whinin and cut the animal lover shit. They are better off this way at this point in their lives

  • @jamima444 Dont be so foolish. Did you know most zoo and aquarium animals are born at zoos? They dont know what the ocean is. They tried to "free" Keiko (Willy in the movies) and he wound up starving and dying of pnemonia. These animals live comfortable fulfilling lives, with all the food they want, vet care, and a team of servants (trainers) to wait on them 24-7. You wouldn't know what a beluga is without zoos. So unless you want to free all the dogs,cats,goldfish etc. in the world. shut up!

  • @jamima444 derpa derp derp derp

  • @jamima444 they were born in captivity it would just torture them to have to learn to hunt and find a pod

  • @jamima444 they should be eaten in a sustainable way : ) they taste like lobster/ chicken and crab all together

  • @jamima444 There are many controversial ideas whether or not to free animals raised..but it's substantial to continue raising animals such as the beluga whale because adaption to an new environmental will be extremely hard to co-exist with other beluga whales whom have different methods of feeding and survival rates is extremely low for raised animals living in wilderness.

  • @jamima444 -__- read the freakin comment above you.

  • Beluga Whales are one of my favourite types ! They look like they're always smiling and they're just soo cute ! But like my most whales, I prefer them to be free and not in captivity. But hey ! They're really cute, so I can understand everyone would wanna see them (:

  • awwww their so sweet :)

  • They are so sweet, I just saw some at Marine Land the other day. They're so cute and curious, and they really seem to love showing off for the people! lol. Unfortunately I didn't get to touch any, but just watching them was a real treat! Such beautiful, majestic, gentle creatures...I wish I could've gotten closer.

  • wait, are they really whale or dolphin

  • @rax7 Belugas are considered to be a whale. :)

  • Onnittelut Hanu!

  • i love them <3

    

  • Im so baked right now.

  • dolphins r so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

  • Dear God, please show mercy and save these creatures from man's evil.

  • @okydokey4126 so you want them to die? because the only way to "save them from man's evil" would be to free them, which ultimately kills them because they no longer have a "fear" of humans, since the tank is all the captive bred belugas know. or we put all animals in any form of zoological park down. assuming you aren't one of the hypocrites who only cares about the sea life that's in captivity and doesn't care about other zoo animals.

  • @lilliannoir WHAT ? I was refering to destroying their natural habitat.... as in OIL SPILLS.!!!!!!

  • @lilliannoir WHAT ?  R U having a bad day? I was refering to destroying their natural habitat... as in OIL SPILLS.!!!!!! The wild animals kept in zoos should be treated like royalty. P.S I am a vegetarian - I respect the lives of all

    creatures.

  • Sarah Palin sued to to overturn laws that protected endangered Beluga Whales.

    Sarah Palin is on The 'Learning' Channel.

    Boycott them through me.

  • there so fat and cute

  • I love those animals but i really think they should not live on a aquarium or a sea park =(

    This really sucks!

  • i love them so much ahhh so cute (:

  • beluga :)))

  • CUTE! <3

  • they are at around 200000 +

    i hate this propaganda

    people believe what they read let people make up their own mind

  • they should'nt be in a tank..but cute and amazing animal.

  • shame they are in a tank.

    nice music!!aloha!

  • I used to think they were fugly and scary when I was a little kid, and I'd scream when I saw one on T.V.

    Now I realize how cute and playful they are. :D

    But they shouldn't be in aquariums and zoos; it's just wrong. I know watching their heads bob back and forth and playing with balls is SO HILARIOUSSSSS AND FUN TO WATCH (-_-), but if we really cared, we would put them back where they belong. I know marine trainers had dreams and put their hearts into this, but still. No more little pools.

  • they look a bit like elderly people lolz...but i love them.

  • They should be free! In their enviroment the sea!

  • the music to this video is EXACTLY the same music as the TIGER MUSIC VIDEO!!

  • aww they kissed XD cute and they look like fat dolphins that is soo cute :D

  • Very beautiful

  • cute they are like litle kidt :)

  • CUTE!
