Whale Bubble Rings

Categories: Videos | Animals | Mammals
  • Beluga whales at a Hamada City, Japan, aquarium are shown blowing bubbles in a video that became popular on the Internet in July 2008. The whales interact with a scuba diver to get the necessary air, then blow bubbles much like a person might blow a smoke ring. The whales in the video also play with a ball, roll over on command and wave at onlookers.
