As for the story, great find. Very interesting. I know some whales are still hunted, not sure about belugas. I personally think hunting any type of whale should be illegal.

I couldn't remember the quote - but figured there was enough people on here who would catch on. Some did, some didn't...

Oh c'mon, who actually thinks whales are fish these days!

Cool story. Dolphins are incredible creatures. I wonder what it is about them that they are able to sense a person's distress. Just physical actions? I had heart from a talk given by some bio prof that certain types of fish are able to communicate and track predators and prey using impedance matching of low level EM fields. Not I know the human brain does emit certain types of waves, could a dolphin pick that up? Moreover, can humans pick that up, and thus sometimes you can sense someone is coming up from behind you?
(sorry for nerding this up)

I keep a Beluga whale with me at all times. His name is Doug. He is my brother.
