The whales that are captured and trained for the marine shows

Leave a Comment
Are sea creatures that look like they're always happy. But it is only an appearance, because, in fact, these belugas are far from happy. Every year in Nilmoguba, a small village in northern Russia, near the Arctic Circle, hundreds of belugas are captured to begin a long, sad journey in captivity for the amusement of humans.

The seizure is authorized by the Russian Government, since the team that captures these whales have licenses to do so. Later, the animals are trained not to fear humans and to perform the tricks that let humans in apotheosis in aquaparques. The training takes about six months and â€" if they survive, because only half the animals adapt to this life in captivity-are later transported to circuses and aquariums for display.

Of the hundreds of belugas that are captured every year, one out of every two refuses to be fed by zookeepers. If you don't manage to adapt, the animals eventually die very quickly due to the traumatic experience or food shortages.

The beluga, which means "white" in Russian, is a small whale that reaches the white color in the adult State. The body of this species of whale is robust, with a round head and large layers of fat.

It is estimated that there are between 40 to 80 000 belugas in the world. These whales are also known as the "Canaries of the sea", due to the melodious sounds they emit, which can be heard outside of water. The diet of belugas is essentially on fish, squid and crustaceans. Its 34 teeth are prepared not to chew but to grasp and tear their prey. In the wild these animals have few predators, only encounters with orcas or polar bears represent a real danger.
