Juno is very cute, he likes to play when he see kids. He really likes Emma.❤️🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍

That Beluga is really... playfull! :D He really seems to enjoy interacting with children??

[@CajunPride777]

Actually no he doesn't seem to like it at all! He's saying back-off when he opens his mouth like that>> www.thedodo.com/why-this-video-of-a-beluga-wha-685343078.html

@@Brodzzzzz there are a bunch of articles on (Juno)this whale that says he jaw pops at children because of the loud noises and glass tapping through out the day.

Amazing! I'm so impressed with belugas. They understand us so well

[@Ccovertide]

No they don’t if they did they wouldn’t wanna be friends with us 💀

[@marialperez1773]

Juno loves children. There is no doubt about it. Whales are intelligent, know no malice, and are innocent.

[@khackney]

I noticed they usually only do the mouth open lunge for little kids. I think belugas enjoy the reaction they get when they do that.

I love how Juno likes to play with the humans at the aquarium. He is just adorable!

All these bloody negative comments on here saying "He's reacting angry" Explain why Juno only does this Kids?? Watch the video of him reacting to the Violin.. It's absolutely beautiful and he LOVES it. Beluga's have HUGE brain's, They know what's happening :) I'm not one for any animal being in captivity, I think its bloody horrible, But.. There's no doubt that Juno seems to love it! He's center of attention :)

[@CajunPride777]

If you read the links i sent you you would understand why he acts like this to children.

I know you told the little girl to let someone else play with Juno but, somebody better tell Juno that cuz it doesn't look like he wants to play with anybody else but her. That little girl and Juno made a connection. And I think lifelong friends. I'm so touched and moved by this beautiful and amazing connection❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@CajunPride777 I was disheartened when I discovered what I thought was playful interaction between the beluga and the children was really an *aggressive moves* towards them. By the way I’m from Baton Rouge, where in Acadiana you from?

@@jennymisteqq5399 Don't listen to these morons. The TRAINERS who work with Juno everyday know better. He's not angry or aggressive. He learned a long time ago doing this behavior gets a reaction out of people, that's why he does it. It's his way of messing with people.

I have a feeling that when Emmalynn grows up, she & Juno The Beluga whale from Connecticut's Mystic Aquarium are best friends forever just like me & my favorite toy from Pokémon when I was 10 Squirtle.

"Someday... Emma will visit her best friend"

[@charlesceb673]

According to Dr. Lori Marino, a beluga behavior specialist with The Kimmela Center, the animal's behavior is "absolutely definitively aggression." "The open mouth and posturing are typical of the way cetaceans express aggression and I've seen a lot in captivity in the very same circumstances. This poor animal is telling the kids: ‘Get away'. It's a threat," Dr. Marino told The Dodo. "While belugas and other cetaceans in the wild make the same aggressive motions (open mouth, etc.) in this case, in my opinion, it is clearly due to the fact that these whales are crammed into this tank and have nowhere to go to escape the screaming kids poking at the glass." In other words, what many have chosen to see as an example of how captivity allows for a feeling of connectedness with whales, orcas and dolphins, is actually an indication of their suffering. And it should hardly come as a surprise. Since the practice of keeping cetaceans in marine parks and aquariums began more than 50 years ago, science has come to understand that they are among the most intelligent animals on earth, not so far removed from humans. There has been a growing sentiment, in the wake of films like "Blackfish" and "The Cove", that society's treatment and confinement of cetaceans amounts to cruelty, and that they should be regarded not as animals, but rather as non-human persons, beings deserving of the most basic rights of freedom.
