Eldorado Posted November 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2019 "The bond between man and beluga whales just got a whole lot stronger. This is the moment that a group of South African rugby fans played fetch with one of the beautiful creatures near the Arctic Pole. "They were using an official 2019 Rugby World Cup ball, tossing it into the water for the marine mammal. The whale then chases the ball, returning it to the men on the boat."

Kittens Are Jerks Posted November 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I've seen beluga whales and they are lovely animals (endangered here in Canada, unfortunately). The one in the video was just too adorable for words. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted November 11, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The whale's a Commie spy! "Footage of the friendly animal has gone viral but experts suggest he was trained by the Russian navy and could be the spy whale Hvaldimir who was first spotted near Norway."
