A Whale of a Christmas!

i didn’t think i would feature cute beluga whales twice in the same month, but here it is: santa belugas! help! i think i’m having a cute brain freeze!

Beluga whales in Santa hats

these playful marine creatures adore balancing toys on their hats. so why not let them don santa hats for christmas? visitors to the hakkeijima sea paradise aquarium on yokohama island are in for a beluga-rific time this festive season. being a cute-loving bunch, the japanese have fitted out a couple of belugas with santa hats!

white belugas = cute. white belugas wearing santa hats = cute x 2!

Beluga whales in Santa hats

i just love the look of concentration of the one on the left! perhaps if more japanese saw how adorable these whales are, they would stop their whaling activities.

question! do these belugas swim around with their heads up high to prevent their hats from getting wet?

aww… i “fish” i could give them huggies!

    10. I just found something.
      You know these beluga whales and dolphins can blow ring bubbles in water ? The ring bubbles look like a smoke ring and the dolphins play with them in the water.

      Take a look here …
