Aquarium Photo 9
Check out this guy! He is a Beluga Whale. The aquarium has five of them in a special cold water tank. It may be hard to see but if you look at his flipper closest to the camera he has a signifcant wound. He and one of the other whales were rescued from an amusement park in Mexico City where they weren't getting proper medical care. He has improved significantly since coming to Atlanta. The whales are very playful, charging the window and then veering off, swimming upside down and generally having a blast.
