Did you know Beluga whales are known as the canaries of the sea? They use their sounds to attract a mate. They
can move their heads side to side and nod up and down. This is because they do not have (muffled). The calves
are born grey and turn white as they age. Beluga whales do not have a dorsal fin. Instead they have a dorsal
ridge.
Hello everyone and welcome to Marineland. We have a great show lined up for you today. King Waldorf has
given us a challenge. The marine mammals with the help of the marine mammal staff have to collect a series of
objects hidden somewhere around this castle to be able to open this chest. So let’s see how they do.
So take a look around the castle. Does anyone see any objects around?
Oh it looks like Holly the sea lion has found the first object.
Holly, where are you going? You just left the first object in the middle of the pool. You’re not going to get it,
that’s pretty embarrassing. I guess we can call one of our other sea lion friends out to retrieve that object.
And it looks like Maui has retrieved it. And here comes Maui back to the stage.
That was very good.
(muffled)
And it looks like Maui has found the next object. You don’t see it. Look right at you.
That’s pretty cool. Now let’s see if the sea lions can do something together with those rings.
And the sea lions are successfully able to work together to catch all three of those rings.
It seems like Maui is looking for the next object.
And let’s hear it for Holly and Maui the California sea lions.
Now it’s time to bring out our next marine mammals. Please join me in welcoming two of Marineland’s Beluga
whales, Charmin and Tofino.
So our Beluga whales will need help finding the next object so I am looking for the most excited person here
who wants to meet a Beluga whale. The boy in the blue shirt and plaid jacket, you can make your way down to
the platform.
