I had so much fun playing with this beluga! (I believe it was Maple.) I put my map up to the glass and spun it around and folded it up small and unfolded it to be larger and she kept watching and coming over. It was so cute; I'd never interacted with a beluga before!!

Maple is such a sweetheart. When I did the Beluga Interaction thing two years ago, she and Aurek were the ones in the pool. The experience itself was simply amazing. Beautiful snapshot!
Great job catching her eye in this shot! She always had the biggest, widest eyes... like she was trying to watch the entire world at once, not missing a thing
