This is a beautiful and deeply touching documentary. I've always loved belugas and to see humans working together to save the baby beluga was heartwarming. It is distressing to know that we have caused cancers and birth defects in these magnificent, intelligent creatures, And the deaths of the belugas in 2012 were distressing. I love that belugas will often adopt infants who have lost their own moms. I hope that we are not too late to save such wonderful animals. ❤❤❤🐳🐳🐳

[@robertnagel3972]

Didn't you hear. Sure the belugas found the baby after 15 minutes, by a bunch of young male belugas that probably harassed it. I am sure it swam off, hungry and frightened, only to be chopped in half by a ship's propeller a week later.

A great mini-documentary on the Belugas of the St. Lawrence river. Great to see people having empathy for a species of mammal that is certainly intelligent, social, and feels. In some ways like us. Sadly, they are now warning us that we have pumped way too much CO2 into the atmosphere. Not very long ago scientists published numerous papers indicating a mass extinction event is looming in our children's or grandchildren's future. I pray we can prevent that from becoming a reality. Many thanks to Real Wild.

What utterly wonderful creatures! When you see how belugas and other whales live their lives, their profound empathy and need for company, it's truly a powerful argument for recognising them not as "animals" but as "fellow animals" and non-human people. It makes it all the more horrific and tragic that belugas are still killed for food in the arctic and it's time we stopped being so precious about protecting the rights of indigenous humans to slaughter beings that are emotionally and intellectually so similar to us.

We humans, in our selfishness, have pushed aside other creatures on this earth. Belugas love and trusts us like our own children do. We must take care of them.

That was a wonderful documentary. There are so many species being lost here in Australia where I live that it's just heartbreaking. Right now an oil company is going to begin explosions in the waters off Western Australia where the incredible whale sharks live and reproduce. They are such giant animals which are so friendly with humans that we can just use a snorkel, or good breath control if we have it, to swim up to them and touch them. The explosions and drilling in such a sensitive area is just criminal both by the company and the government which has allowed this development to go ahead (there is a campaign to stop it but all approvals are given). The loss of other terrestrial animals is equally tragic. Koalas are now endangered because of the worst bushfires in our history in 2019, and before that, the loss of koala habitat had already rendered them endangered. It has been estimated by scientists that *3 billion* animals (mammals, monotremes, birds, reptiles) succumbed in the fires of the eastern forests of Australia in 2019. After a decades long struggle to stop Japan and Norway from killing whales in Antarctica, Japan still kills minke whales "for cultural reasons". Meanwhile, Japan has several hundreds of years worth of stored whale meat which the majority of people in Japan don't wish to eat anymore. We succeeded in saving humpback whales and other large whales in Antarctic waters. On the eastern Australian coast we are now familiar with the whales which migrate north to reproduce in the waters of southern Queensland. In Sydney we have viewing spots on cliffs and headlands where we gather every year to watch and even identify individual whales during the migration. Boats are limited in the distance they can be for whale watching, which we do all the way up the eastern coast to southern Queensland. Sometimes whales will enter Sydney Harbour or beach bays like Bondi Beach to frolic with their calves on their return migration to Antarctic waters. These are victories. The good and the bad of human activity tells its story, just as the belugas have in this documentary. We really must apply ourselves to understanding and acting on the many, many stories, and above all, the evidence, which tells what we should do.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

Oil companies do such tremendous damage to the planet. It's bewildering how this is still going on at this point, when we have all the proof and data from totally separate scientific fields in all over the planet. From the rigs to the end applications of the fuel, it's thr most destructive human made phenomenon of our time and the era of this destruction constantly prolonged by new enterprize of the same exploitation and destruction. It HAS to be ceased. Time is running out for thousands upon thousands of species miniscule and giant, of flora and fauna, on land and the oceans. And every year the amounts of animals reported extinct worldwide for reasons clearly humans have been key creators of, is harrowing. I'm upset to hear what your are sharing. I know aboutbthe decimation of unique species due to the wildfires, and the recorded destruction of the Great Barrier Reef over the last decades, also the Japanese and Norwegian destruction (I'm in Sweden myself andbwe do NOT condone our neighbors appetite on this issue), but I did not know of this threat to yet another unique whale species, the magnificent whale shark due to these horrible plans being given the green light. With oil, it's nothing but greed on the part of politicians. It's up to the general population to stop them from allowing this destruction. Supported by, data, and arguments of scientists in the fields related to these areas, marine biologists and more it can be done. But it really takes intense volunteer work to rally for it. With enough bad press on the matter though, on an international level, raised international awareness and noise on the subject, there's still a chance to stop this from happening. It's the one thing politicians are forced to listen to even in the face of personal profitable kickbacks, because public outrage and embarracement puts your own appointment in office at great risk. Thank you for caring and speaking up about this. It's indeed outrageous, horrible and unacceptible. Best wishes to you from up here in Stockholm.
