I read all the comments you gave your stamp of approval and it’s clear you have no human empathy for the beautiful intelligent whale encased in a glass prison for your entertainment. You’re hoping for as many “likes” as you can get so you’ll get paid $. It’s animal slavery that you are promoting. Imagine you confined to your living room with visitors walking by, gawking at you, laughing and pointing at you, encouraging you to do some form of a “trick” for them and their kids. Eight hours a day-everyday while you walk around your 8X10 foot room remembering being with your family and friends and swimming about the world at your leisure. But wow, today someone plays some music for you! Imagine that! Just imagine that! If you opened his door to the ocean and freedom how long do you think that beautiful intelligent whale would choose to stay there and look at your camera and your grinning face? You’re profiting from an enslaved animal by encouraging people to “Please Help Spread This Message . . .and Subscribe...”.
JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS AND HE WAS BURIED AND HE ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY (THE BIBLE) JOHN CHAPTER 3 VERSES 16 THROUGH 21 AND 1ST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 15 VERSES 1 THROUGH 5 (THE BIBLE)
What I like to think is that “music is the universal language”, since it is very obviously overwhelming that this lovely Beluga(and his friend in the back) understood what this man was communicating. How beautiful! Music can truly be enjoyed by all
The interesting thing is though is that the sound is totally distorted by the man playing the violin behind the glass. The beluga would get a totally different listening experience if it’s head were actually above the waterline.
"Here is a violinist and if you look over there in the corner you can see a male with an acoustic guitar attempting to attract a mate with the classic mating call 'Wonderwall'."
I love how he floated up to get some air while pressing his head to the glass. Never looked away and his flippers barely moved. This speaks both to the power of music and bright minds out there in the natural world. We can find common ground 😅
True here in India we have stories of Lord Krishna playing flute and not just Godess Radha mesmerised but all animals used to flok around and walk by him as he played it
It had just finished taking a breath when he stopped. The sound was probably different when it had broken the surface, so it might have missed the experience of some of the song.
. . . " Most animals ... are better than most people " I was told by a remarkable mentor , guide and true ' mountain man ' ( Are you still out there , Duncan Martin? ) I did not quite ... 'get it' in my mid-teens , I do so now and have done for a long time , over 4 decades on . You said so little but taught me so much ... " up hill and down dale "
I'm a guitarist/composer/arranger,and that violinist makes me wish we could collaborate. Every note is just delectible! And I was a Nightwatchman at the Cleveland Zoo for 30 years. It ended up being a perfect combination. I fell deeply in love with my job. Our animal kindred,let me assure you,have a vibrant inner world like us. They love,feel lonely, grieve and even laugh. Don't ever underestimate them. A few weeks ago,I sat and played guitar on my upstairs porch. A chipmunk stopped by for birdseed,but then she stopped,and just sat and listened. You'll see many more clips on TH-cam of animals stopping and listening. I'm convinced that our relationship with Nature is changing,for something better,deeper and with much more loving kindness.
I don’t think humanity’s getting any better with nature, unfortunately, but I do know that animals have all the emotions you talked about, and then some. Humans didn’t get our emotions out of nowhere - we evolved with them from our ancestors, which were others animals with emotions.
At this point I'm pretty sure it's way sadder for beluga whales in the wild that have to deal with ocean pollution and human dangers, than the one kept in nice and well cared for zoo environments
I know this is 8 years ago, but, I still cried. HARD. You are a beautiful Human and beautiful whale. Tears of joy from a lady that loves all living things. I adore you both. ❤️
The beluga certainly was mesmerized! I loved when it kept pressing its mouth afterwards, like "kisses for you, my friend." And the one in the back looked like he/she(?) was dancing. Such gorgeous, intelligent beings. Beautiful. ❤
cute though, i love it. it's pressing against the glass to see if he stopped the sound, or if it was just too quiet to come through the glass. incredible intelligence.
@@Automedon2 I would rather say, a Human making the day better for a captive. That was a bright moment in this narrow life i assume. I wish him freedom and I wish him a concert everyday.
Just like people have different interest, animals have different interest. The others animals were not interested, but look how focused this cute pie was. I was expecting him to move along, but even after the music stopped he stood there. I really love animals. They are so precious and innocent like children.
And then humans are saying animals do not have souls and can't have feelings. At the end, you can be the biggest ingenior of the world, if you do not have compassion and love for humans, animals and the Earth itself, then you are just a stupid human.
@@IamIsaiah144 I don't know about other animals but I can definitely confirm 1000% that cats do not feel remorse or regret , even when you yell and show them the pictures for the insurance claim from their 3 second high-speed catfight. Gotta luv em.
In case you were wondering, the man playing the fiddle is Paul Baker of the band Brigid's Cross! The beluga whale is named Juno, and this video was shot at the Mystic Seaport Aquarium in Connecticuit!
@@gregpickett8816 I spoke with Paul this evening. He said what he was playing was an original piece he was working on at the time as well as just riffing the sounds the belugas were making. So, I guess you might call it a duet!
I’ve watched so many videos of people playing different instruments for different animals. I always love their reaction to music. And oh so nice of the people playing for animals. It’s totally awesome!
You do realise that is how it breathes right? It leaned forward just so that it could take oxygen. It’s a mammal unlike a fish. But it’s definitely intrigued by the music....
@Joseph Anand ...it's taking oxygen from the glass? also nobody is saying that isn't how it breathes, the person just said that they thought it was cute
I know these whales! The one watching the violinist is Juno (the silly in the background is Kela). I had the privilege of getting to meet Juno up close and pet him, learn about him, and even take part in his enrichment. He absolutely loves humans and is completely fascinated by us, perhaps as much as we are by him. He’s incredibly playful and curious and loves when musicians visit or anyone else he thinks particularly interesting. He’s an amazing creature and I miss him very much, it’s so wonderful to see these videos of him and his friends in mystic. Also for anyone complaining, he and Kela were captive bred. They can’t live in the wild. Mystic Aquarium is not only a haven fir captive bred or rescued animals but a research center - the workers will document his health and behavior as well as Kela’s and use it to help understand and save their wild counterparts. It was also requested that the whale facility become part of the aquarium as Mystic has a rich history with whaling, and because the local Native tribe (the Mashantucket Pequot people) have a love and admiration for whales - whales are sacred to many tribes.
If anyone's curious, cetaceans basically hear sound through their jawbone, so sweet Juno there was pressing his snoot against the glass so he could hear better!
So thick glass isn't sound proof?...stop that disneyfication of animals...its maybe interested by the movement...any food here? No.no food...swim another round in this mind numbing basin....
Beautiful!…God has a way with using animals to make us smile…felt the true love and beauty in this video…maybe God was sending his love and appreciation through this man and baluga whale connection…🥰🥰🥰
LOL, this! At first I thought the beluga wanted a higher view of the violin-playing human, but then I saw the surface of the water, then I was like, oh! it needed to breathe!
I have to find and upload the rest of the videos we did clap he played other songs but the jerks at the zoo kicked him out and said he was disrupting the animals 🤬 we all tried to have him stay but they escorted him out and he continued playing all the way out and we Clapped I'm going to find my SD card with the rest of the videos 💖
@@CrystalP2680 They kicked him out??? Unbelievable. This was pure magic. I wanted to dance and cry watching this interaction. I got a little irritated with the humans who couldn't shut up, but that's humans for you these days.
Fun fact: the ‘bump’ on a Beluga’s head is called the Melon and is used to aid in its receiving of echolocating pulses the Beluga or it’s companions may make, so when the Beluga starts pressing its head against the glass it’s akin to a person pressing their ear to a closed door or a wall to hear the other side better, they are really listening keenly!
Yes… The senses of animals are more acute.. I’m pretty sure the beluga heard him play.. ❤ and I think it meant so so much to the wonderful violinist who seems confined to his chair..
I know this is old, but both belugas are following the music. The one behind was turning slowly, following the music. They are so beautiful and intelligent. Thanks for this wonderful video.
They're one of the best hear-ers on earth. Their advanced brains specifically evolved for sonar. So he's listening to the music; and even better than we can. Notice the subtle head motions as he follows the changing notes, we do that too..
There’s other comments stating the sound didn’t reach their ears as the medium it’s a different density. I’d like to think they heard it :). Loved the connection there.
@Frost Flower same, maybe you just don't know how to listen. It sounds passionate, I'll give him that, but there's a few slip ups and that really hurts when it's only one violin playing
Belugas are such cute and lovely whales, the cutest of all. And this adorable beluga sure knows how to appreciate great music. Awww, so beautiful and fascinating about a violinist and a sweet beluga whale. Great video full of beauty. Thank you for sharing it, it is enjoyable. ♥️♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍♥️♥️🥰♥️😍
Yeah totally mesmerized. That's why nothing about his disposition changed from the time before he started playing, during the playing, or after the playing stopped. Very clear indication that it was mesmerized by the violin and not that you just happened to start playing violin in front of a beluga that was already sitting there staring out the glass.
Rowgue51 it seems your less intelligent and less observant than the beluga! Defo just proves the commenters point of animal emotion and intuitiveness beyond human capabilities. It’s a whale able to relate and enjoy human made music, how can much can you relate to the whale? You can’t at all, just “iTs StArInG aT tHe GLaSs!!!” ... Jesus your dumb
@@pangometersen8834 Why are you alive breathing the same air as other people, eating food and trying to live a lifestyle which already someone has definitely lived since the beginning of time...just because you are born, even though no one cares... because you live only for yourself. (Btw And I have just used the same technique for commenting but my comment is and always are original.) Have a nice day!
This could also be between you and your bored pet. Give them emotional or mental stimulation like this and they might bond with you in unnusual ways. They have feelings but we choose to not interract with them because we see ourselves as somethin bigger than them and i think they can feel that by reflecting our behavior.
@@LilM0 I didnt meant to be personal and accusive im just bored about people making easy thougths on pets like we have nothing incommon. Like they are random bots following waypoints or sum. We are too shut off with our own egos to see and interact with the world we live in.

When the music finishes he/she appears to be asking for more. Thanks for uploading this ... it was wonderful to observe. Belugas are noted for being musical.
That was awesome! He was fascinated. You can see the wheels turning. He really enjoyed it, but he wanted to know what the sounds was. It's the very first time he's ever heard music 🎶 in his life (assuming this is the first time someone has played music for him). Imagine it's the first time you ever heard it. Beautiful animal, awesome people are kind enough to do this. Great great video!
Gon I’m sure! Most sentient creatures are far connected by telepathy & to the Earth...civilized man is the most disconnected & unintelligent of all creatures...I’m totally convinced of this! Those still in the bush never lost their telepathy nor their Earth connection, as their feet never leave the Earth! They are all taught to be leaders & their survival skills & intuition far surpass most...like the natives of the Americas! The Apache’s are still using their tracking telepathy & Animal communication today! It’s fantastic, but true!

@@cynthiaennis3107 Wow, a delusional hippie with no understanding of science or basic reality calling 'me', someone with actual education and basic common sense... ignorant... Ok then... Have fun living in wonderland, fricking nutjob...
His ( the beluga whale ) calm demeanor and the way he slowly moves his head back and forth. Almost like hes playing the violin himself. This whale just stole my heart. Wow. I can feel his emotions or hers. Wonderful. Just absolutely amazing.
Interesting, I’ve always been a believer that genre doesn’t exist and that music is no different then art.. the only thing that matters is if it sounds good or doesn’t.. but when its good your ears let your brain know.. whales are so intelligent this is a once in an eternity opportunity for this whale. Crazy to think about. Sounds so good to my ears... and I bet the Beluga was losing his mind in joy. That man is nasty with that violin I tell you. And I do not care for violin music, unless it sounds like this.
@@fuckel98 yep. It made me cry, the 2 of them staring into each others eyes. But it was a beautiful magical moment. A lot of significance there. And many of us, also trapped in our circumstances one way or another, got the chance to press our faces against the screen to witness the beauty as well ❤
Sir, I just wanted to say thank you VERY MUCH INDEED for entertaining that TRULY MAGNIFICENT animal. With my VERY BEST wishes, Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.
I remember being in a car with Italian trap music playing, the cows nearby weren't giving a fuck. Then "nothing else matters" started, and they were literally trying to sing it
Belugas use echolocation to navigate their environments. Because of this, their brains process sound like ours process vision. This beluga can actually "see" the sounds the violin makes.
@Alchemist sorry to half piss on your parade, though this evidence isn't directly useful with it not being about a beluga. It is however still about a cetacean: www.researchgate.net/publication/279942430_Diffusion_tensor_imaging_of_dolphin_brains_reveals_direct_auditory_pathway_to_temporal_lobe This proves that atleast dolphins have a direct link between what you complained they didn't or lack of evidence there of. Is this sufficient enough evidence to possibly bring the conversation about to one of, dolphins and whales "might" see echolocation clicks similarly to how we perceive light through our retina. Possibly with less verbal vitriol.... Sheesh.
@@DurzoBlunts except we're not looking at a dolphin you dumb fuck, but a beluga. if you made a claim about a deer and i showed you an article about a goddamn moose, how useful would that be? shithead
“To this day i dont know what that human was talking about. And i dont want to know. I like to think he was talking about something that was so beautiful that it couldnt be expressed in words.”
@@BaldLezB_In Because some answers are way too long to actually write down Dolphins and whales are extremely smart, they are also the only animals with a bigger brain than humans As example dolphins in captivity can CHOSE what they want to eat and they also can chose music to listen to, animals arent nearly as dumb as some people believe they are
the whale in the back is probably an interpretative dancer in his past life and the whale who listens intently is probably a violinist performer in the past. Both whales are partner in stage in the past 😂
I love this. The fact that someone took the time to entertain the entertainment. My opinion regarding wildlife in captivity is not a positive one, and that's all I'll say about that. This, however, is a thing of beauty, kindness and compassion. Definitely brought a smile to my face to see this man taking a few minutes out of his day to play his violin for the beluga is so awesome. And to see how intrigued and curious the whale's response is... So very cool! Thanks for sharing.
He took a few minutes out of his day to get some Instagram likes. The imprisoned whales are so bored out of their skulls that anything new is a curiosity. The 'smiles' that they are born with never change. Like most captive animals they are mentally destroyed.
@@Automedon2 So, basically, you are in agreement with my statement? I just chose not to bash the older gentleman for using his time to do what he could as one individual obviously to stimulate the beluga in some way. How many people even care or think to do something like that? Any stimulation is better than no stimulation. What do you do to eradicate wildlife in captivity? Are you trying to push for a resolution or simply going around complaining about it? I am merely guessing here. Feel free to set me straight. I'm all ears!
@@tommcevoy4872 The bushmen of the Kalahari Desert are almost extinct. Not many Inuits left either. Do you suggest we imprison them, never to be released again, to preserve their race? No whale will ever be released from captivity. They will die there just as many others, who were the last of their species. Captive animals are only the bodies of the species they represent. They display none of their natural instincts.
@The Final Rumbling Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, eh? I sure would like to see your "facts" that show wild animals in captivity do not exhibit signs of psychological harm. Even the very best of intentions by the best of people do not always make their actions right though, does it. Captivity for a limited time for the exclusive purposes of rehabilitation and release is another thing. Having a background in veterinarian medicine opened my eyes to things that most goers of the zoos, aquariums, etc., do not see, and are most likely unaware of. Nevertheless, thanks for your opinion. I will not tell you that your opinion doesn't matter, however. That's simply rude. Have a great day.
@@justinebautista1383 I don't want to start an argument but my personal opinion is that there is no way that's enough. That's the equivalent of you living in a nicely furnished jail cell where an animal of a different species comes for a few hours everyday to play ball with you. Sure its better than never being played with but parts of you would know something is wrong with your life. Rescue animals that would die in the wild are ok but otherwise there's no good reason for supporting the psychological abuse of animals this smart.
@@gagemorrow6702 it's the equivalent of living inside that Maze from Maze runner. The outside world is way more dangerous and cruel but large and vast, in the end once they discover what the outside world truly is they would rather stay in their small piece of paradise where they are free to eat as much as they want and breed as much as they want, the ultimate goal of animals.

@@IamIsaiah144 I don't know about other animals but I can definitely confirm 1000% that cats do not feel remorse or regret , even when you yell and show them the pictures for the insurance claim from their 3 second high-speed catfight. Gotta luv em.
In case you were wondering, the man playing the fiddle is Paul Baker of the band Brigid's Cross! The beluga whale is named Juno, and this video was shot at the Mystic Seaport Aquarium in Connecticuit!
What is the name of that song? I need to learn it now.
Awesome! Thanks!❤
Beautiful
@@gregpickett8816 I spoke with Paul this evening. He said what he was playing was an original piece he was working on at the time as well as just riffing the sounds the belugas were making. So, I guess you might call it a duet!
@@achase9998 Gonna be needing that track, please. Lol.
I’ve watched so many videos of people playing different instruments for different animals. I always love their reaction to music. And oh so nice of the people playing for animals. It’s totally awesome!
My dogs have interesting reactions to different sounds, music included. If certain music is soothing to us it’s probably of comfort to other mammals.
I agree with you. Can’t even imagine what it must be like for them to hear music for the first time.
me, too ~ the cows...
When the beluga pressed its head against the window. So cute the soft spot. Like a big marshmallow baby.
MzYum YUM699 my heart just melted when I saw that!!!!🥺🥰❤️
Yes,is sooo cute 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👻💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
You do realise that is how it breathes right? It leaned forward just so that it could take oxygen. It’s a mammal unlike a fish. But it’s definitely intrigued by the music....
@Joseph Anand ...it's taking oxygen from the glass?
also nobody is saying that isn't how it breathes, the person just said that they thought it was cute
@@magma1264 you need to google how a Dolphin Breathes.
I know these whales! The one watching the violinist is Juno (the silly in the background is Kela). I had the privilege of getting to meet Juno up close and pet him, learn about him, and even take part in his enrichment. He absolutely loves humans and is completely fascinated by us, perhaps as much as we are by him. He’s incredibly playful and curious and loves when musicians visit or anyone else he thinks particularly interesting. He’s an amazing creature and I miss him very much, it’s so wonderful to see these videos of him and his friends in mystic.
Also for anyone complaining, he and Kela were captive bred. They can’t live in the wild. Mystic Aquarium is not only a haven fir captive bred or rescued animals but a research center - the workers will document his health and behavior as well as Kela’s and use it to help understand and save their wild counterparts. It was also requested that the whale facility become part of the aquarium as Mystic has a rich history with whaling, and because the local Native tribe (the Mashantucket Pequot people) have a love and admiration for whales - whales are sacred to many tribes.

EDIT: Holy shit, how did this comment get so many likes?!
Most underrated comment 🏆🥇
LOL, this! At first I thought the beluga wanted a higher view of the violin-playing human, but then I saw the surface of the water, then I was like, oh! it needed to breathe!
So cute haha

I think all animals appreciate beautiful sounds. His music was lovely.
I can't believe nobody clapped for the man. That was beautiful ❤
I have to find and upload the rest of the videos we did clap he played other songs but the jerks at the zoo kicked him out and said he was disrupting the animals 🤬 we all tried to have him stay but they escorted him out and he continued playing all the way out and we Clapped I'm going to find my SD card with the rest of the videos 💖
@@CrystalP2680 They kicked him out??? Unbelievable. This was pure magic. I wanted to dance and cry watching this interaction. I got a little irritated with the humans who couldn't shut up, but that's humans for you these days.
I think they respected the moment of connection
Why they do that? Thats not fair! I feel sorry for him
The man played so beautifully.
Fun fact: the ‘bump’ on a Beluga’s head is called the Melon and is used to aid in its receiving of echolocating pulses the Beluga or it’s companions may make, so when the Beluga starts pressing its head against the glass it’s akin to a person pressing their ear to a closed door or a wall to hear the other side better, they are really listening keenly!
The look on the whale's face says it all , happiness
Oh yeah that Beluga loved it
Yes… The senses of animals are more acute.. I’m pretty sure the beluga heard him play.. ❤ and I think it meant so so much to the wonderful violinist who seems confined to his chair..
@@MsHSpring yes there was a momentary bond shared there and not gonna lie, moistened my eyes a bit lol

I know this is old, but both belugas are following the music. The one behind was turning slowly, following the music. They are so beautiful and intelligent. Thanks for this wonderful video.
They're one of the best hear-ers on earth. Their advanced brains specifically evolved for sonar. So he's listening to the music; and even better than we can. Notice the subtle head motions as he follows the changing notes, we do that too..
Yes!
I noticed that! He looks like he could be the conductor.
I love your positive commentary. I adore animals so much, too❤
There’s other comments stating the sound didn’t reach their ears as the medium it’s a different density. I’d like to think they heard it :). Loved the connection there.
Oh wow. I rewatched it and he is moving with the notes !! Super cool
Every comment is about the beluga, so I'll write about this guy : the way he played the violin is amazing 😍
It was very good.
Not really tbh
Not really
@Frost Flower same, maybe you just don't know how to listen. It sounds passionate, I'll give him that, but there's a few slip ups and that really hurts when it's only one violin playing

Beluga is TOTALLY mesmerized ... goes to show just how sensitive these magnificent creatures are...
They have inner consciousness like we do.
They are very smart animals.
Yeah totally mesmerized. That's why nothing about his disposition changed from the time before he started playing, during the playing, or after the playing stopped. Very clear indication that it was mesmerized by the violin and not that you just happened to start playing violin in front of a beluga that was already sitting there staring out the glass.
Rowgue51 it seems your less intelligent and less observant than the beluga! Defo just proves the commenters point of animal emotion and intuitiveness beyond human capabilities. It’s a whale able to relate and enjoy human made music, how can much can you relate to the whale? You can’t at all, just “iTs StArInG aT tHe GLaSs!!!” ... Jesus your dumb

Imagine the feeling this man has, the connection he created with this beluga through sound. It's beautiful.
This could also be between you and your bored pet. Give them emotional or mental stimulation like this and they might bond with you in unnusual ways. They have feelings but we choose to not interract with them because we see ourselves as somethin bigger than them and i think they can feel that by reflecting our behavior.

Don't worry Beluga, he'll play Belupacito next.
When the music stopped, I know for sure that the beluga wanted him to keep playing! 🎶🎻🎼
That was awesome! He was fascinated. You can see the wheels turning. He really enjoyed it, but he wanted to know what the sounds was. It's the very first time he's ever heard music 🎶 in his life (assuming this is the first time someone has played music for him). Imagine it's the first time you ever heard it. Beautiful animal, awesome people are kind enough to do this. Great great video!
Beluga is just trying to figure out what the guy is trying to say with his violin
The beluga is like: "He's got a weird accent. Somehow can't comprahend"
Fr tho
The beluga is thinking, "I don't know what you are saying but I ❤ how you talk!"
“Why do you want to throw a nine-banger into a classroom of epileptic kids?”
1rotzy “Frost, toss a 9-banger”
This is so cuteeee. The beluga is like “whoa I’ve never heard a whale call like this before”
They are sentient beings who can enjoy music and differentiate it from their usual day-to-day sounds.
Gon I’m sure! Most sentient creatures are far connected by telepathy & to the Earth...civilized man is the most disconnected & unintelligent of all creatures...I’m totally convinced of this! Those still in the bush never lost their telepathy nor their Earth connection, as their feet never leave the Earth!

I've been a musician for over 30 years that was one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard honestly
Interesting, I’ve always been a believer that genre doesn’t exist and that music is no different then art.. the only thing that matters is if it sounds good or doesn’t.. but when its good your ears let your brain know.. whales are so intelligent this is a once in an eternity opportunity for this whale. Crazy to think about. Sounds so good to my ears... and I bet the Beluga was losing his mind in joy. That man is nasty with that violin I tell you. And I do not care for violin music, unless it sounds like this.

Belugas use echolocation to navigate their environments. Because of this, their brains process sound like ours process vision. This beluga can actually "see" the sounds the violin makes.
@Alchemist you have no way to prove it's false
donjaime23 - ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!
@Alchemist if you truly want to spread knowledge try not be an ass in the process. Maybe you'll be more successful
@Alchemist sorry to half piss on your parade, though this evidence isn't directly useful with it not being about a beluga. It is however still about a cetacean: www.researchgate.net/publication/279942430_Diffusion_tensor_imaging_of_dolphin_brains_reveals_direct_auditory_pathway_to_temporal_lobe
This proves that atleast dolphins have a direct link between what you complained they didn't or lack of evidence there of. Is this sufficient enough evidence to possibly bring the conversation about to one of, dolphins and whales "might" see echolocation clicks similarly to how we perceive light through our retina. Possibly with less verbal vitriol.... Sheesh.

This, however, is a thing of beauty, kindness and compassion. Definitely brought a smile to my face to see this man taking a few minutes out of his day to play his violin for the beluga is so awesome. And to see how intrigued and curious the whale's response is... So very cool! Thanks for sharing.
He took a few minutes out of his day to get some Instagram likes. The imprisoned whales are so bored out of their skulls that anything new is a curiosity. The 'smiles' that they are born with never change. Like most captive animals they are mentally destroyed.
@@Automedon2 So, basically, you are in agreement with my statement? I just chose not to bash the older gentleman for using his time to do what he could as one individual obviously to stimulate the beluga in some way.

Are you trying to push for a resolution or simply going around complaining about it? I am merely guessing here. Feel free to set me straight. I'm all ears!
@@Automedon2 I agree with you 💯 that any animal that's kept in captivity is irrevocabley damaged for life. Mentally and physically.
@@tommcevoy4872 The bushmen of the Kalahari Desert are almost extinct. Not many Inuits left either. Do you suggest we imprison them, never to be released again, to preserve their race? No whale will ever be released from captivity. They will die there just as many others, who were the last of their species. Captive animals are only the bodies of the species they represent. They display none of their natural instincts.
@The Final Rumbling Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, eh? I sure would like to see your "facts" that show wild animals in captivity do not exhibit signs of psychological harm. Even the very best of intentions by the best of people do not always make their actions right though, does it. Captivity for a limited time for the exclusive purposes of rehabilitation and release is another thing. Having a background in veterinarian medicine opened my eyes to things that most goers of the zoos, aquariums, etc., do not see, and are most likely unaware of. Nevertheless, thanks for your opinion. I will not tell you that your opinion doesn't matter, however. That's simply rude. Have a great day.
thank you for making that whales day while stuck in a boring bathtub.
e schwarz there’s another clip somewhere in TH-cam. A mariachi band played fr a beluga. He started bobbing his hand to the music. So besutiful

@@justinebautista1383 I don't want to start an argument but my personal opinion is that there is no way that's enough.

Sure its better than never being played with but parts of you would know something is wrong with your life.
