Recent footage via VR.RU shows beluga whales living in two very different worlds – as four captive beluga whales swim around their small enclosed sea pens at Primorsky Oceanarium, Russia, a wild beluga whale comes to apparently check them out.
Two belugas seen in Ussuri Bay in April 2020 were allegedly part of the larger group of captive whales released from the “whale jail ” near Nakhodka in 2019. As some of the released belugas spent last winter near Vladivostok and Nakhodka, there is indeed every possibility that the whale swimming wild and free in the video could be one of them.
This footage highlights the stark comparison between the lives of whales obtained for the ‘entertainment’ industry confined to a tank and their wild counterparts, who retain their freedom of choice to go where, and when, they please.
