The first case in Russia of the birth of a beluga whale in a dolphinarium took place in the Primorsky Oceanarium.
“Jessica the white whale became a mother for the first time: a strong, energetic white whale was born on August 1. This is not only the first experience in the life of fourteen-year-old Jessica, but also a unique for Russia case of offspring of white whales in a dolphinarium, ”the press service of the institution says.
It is noted that the newborn whale develops normally.
The beluga whale is monitored by biologists and hydroacoustics.
