beluga whale being playful
beluga whale making faces at me
Last weekend [livejournal.com profile] majordomo and I went to Mystic CT. I wanted to see the octopus and the jellyfish at the aquarium, among other things. The jellies are beautiful; the octopus was hiding in the corner of its tank. I got to pet some stingrays (stingers removed for the petting pool) -- they are slimy and like to swim just a bit deeper than the distance between your fingertips and however far you've rolled your sleeve up, but I liked petting them anyway. This beluga whale, one of four at the aquarium, came over to the viewing area to play with people: make faces and splash water at us. It bumped its head against the window like an affectionate cat.
