I would say / guess / deduce that the whale was forced out of its natural habitat due to changes in currents that result from rising water temperatures. Yes, I am not an expert in the matter but I would logically deduce that a lot of maritime subcultures are about to be displaced and most probably / eventually cease to exist (i wont say extinct) / become rare. Yet again this is just my personal opinion on the matter (not a certified expert – but you would be surprised how many times I'm right about similar issues) 😑 Also FYI this is a signal that it has become too late to reverse the process / ongoing damage to our ecology….lets just hope there is some kind of resemblance left after things balance out, if & when it should be balanced.
Belugas are highly social creatures and so intelligent. Can’t imagine what it must be feeling being lost, alone, and heading in the wrong direction. 🙁
I think both the beluga and the orca maybe coming from the Russian whale "prison" ?? Russia said to released them but all they did was dump the animals back in the open ocean. Not giving them the time and skills they need to survive
Its more likely all of these animals are swimming around somewhere looking to join a pod but because all pods have different languages (the sounds they make) it is looking for a needle in a haystack. Anddd a lot of them were showing the fungess marks already while living in captivity in russia. I wouldnt be surprised if this would happen again lets say 86 times beluga and 12 killerwhales???
Its sad… so f*&^% sad!!!
THEY LOVE THEIR CAVIAR , PERHAPS THIS ONE ESCAPED FROM A "PRIVATE" FARM ???? WOULD NOT PUT IT PAST A "SICK" HUMAN
Don't tell me it went InSeine, And before that it was in DeNile.
I have seen a video of a guy playing the violin to beluga whales. Maybe lead it away with a violin expert 😂
As a drone pilot I love seeing the French version of myself 😍
Can a Beluga whale tolerate swimming in freshwater?
Whales have been acting abnormally all over the World. Climate change, unusual traffic over migration routes. Whale experts should be consulted when these strange sittings occur. Whales travel in pods. Unusual for one whale alone. 😘😘😘
I absolutely love it when I come across people that call themselves professionals and they say something can't be done. Because for one moment they cannot even consider their wrong. So yeah you can find beluga whales in rivers I guess huh professionals. Just once I would love to hear these professionals of any kind just give that they could possibly be wrong.
This animal probably suffers from a health problem like the other one who died in the Seine earlier this year 🙄
We all need an occasional warm weather vacation
That's a Russian spy… 🙂
Begulaa 🐈🐈🐈
The Sea is polluted…He is searching for relief…If he can't find it he will Beach himself. it's a shame how you people have polluted the Earth..The End is near.
I wonder if the recent heat wave in Europe had this whale searching for cooler waters. Poor thing, hopefully it returns to it's natural habitat soon!
how far off course did this big guy get? like how far away to his habitat/ nearest beluga friend?
Very odd
