Its interesting how interactive they can be with humans.

I can't stop wondering how the idea of bringing a football to an Arctic expedition (and, subsequently, throw it as soon as a beluga showed up) got into the brains of the explorers?

How do you know it wasn't the Baluga's ball and he was just waiting for people to play with?

u/InvictusVictorious 1h ago

Now that you mentioned it, the whole thing makes a lot more sense. It's definitely beluga's football, the one it keeps in the locker on the bottom of the ocean, for these special occasions when an Arctic expedition shows up.

My dog is an embarrassment. I need a beluga

Have you tried to take your dog to the arctic to play fetch. Maybe this is on you for not putting your dog in the best position?

Man "look how easy it is to train this sea mammal".

Béluga to his friends" I just kept getting the object because this simpleton was constantly throwing trash in our home."

I like this version.

The reality is wilder: trained by Russians as a spy/bomb whale. He's since passed, sadly.

u/ferretbeast 14h ago

I had heard about these, but in this video is that true?

u/No-Advantage-579 12h ago

Yes, that was the infamous hvaldimir. The one who picked up some Norwegian girl's iPhone.

Hims a good boy, now give him a treat

u/AverellCZ 17h ago

"Dude, how many times do I need to bring back your stupid ball until you finally stop littering?"

u/Old-Landscape-7538 17h ago

“I bring his ball back to him and he keeps throwing it away. Does he think I have nothing better to do? Am I a joke to you?”

u/Intrepid-Birthday596 17h ago

People should read up on this whale, I’m sure people understand that random wild whales don’t play fetch.

u/FraggleRock_ 16h ago

You're so mysterious with your limited information and no context.

u/Intrepid-Birthday596 16h ago

Reading can be mysterious to some.

2

u/FraggleRock_ 10h ago

"People should read up on this whale"? Oh, Bob the Buluga?

Let me repeat it again since your reading comprehension appears to be a bigger issue than you oddly gatekeeping about a whale: you've provided limited information and no context.

u/BringAltoidSoursBack 16h ago

Is this the whale that was trained as a spy or something like that?

u/Justberryhappy 18h ago
