Hello everyone and welcome to Marineland. We have a great show lined up for you today because King Waldorf
has given us a challenge. He has hidden special objects around the castle that the animals have to help us collect
to be able to open his chest.
So let’s see how they do.
And it looks like Holly has found the first object. How are you doing Holly?
Holly, where are you going? You just left the object in the middle of the pool.
I don’t think that’s going to work. I think we can call one of our other sea lion friends out to retrieve the object.
And here comes Holly again and she’s found the next object.
Great job.
Let’s see if Holly and Cleveland can put that all together.
Give it up for Holly and Cleveland the sea lions.
Now it’s time to bring out our next marine mammals (static) Our Beluga whales, Charmin and Tofino.
Let’s see if Charmin can find the next object. She is going to need some help. Let’s see who is the most excited
person here who wants to meet a Beluga whale.
I think you can be more excited than that. I think we have a volunteer: the young lady in the pink and grey
striped shirt. You can make your way down to the platform over here.
If you haven’t yet been to Friendship and Arctic Cove today, make sure you visit our other Beluga whales.
In fact, beluga whales are considered the canaries of the sea because of their wide range of vocals.
Those are Charmin’s sounds. Over here you have a wide range of vocalizations.
You can touch Tofino on his head, otherwise known as his melon. The melon is made up of fatty tissue and it
allows the Beluga whales to make their wide range of vocalizations. You can feed Tofino a fish.
These whales eat a diet of capelin, herring and sometimes squid.
