BABY BALUGA IS BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first captive Beluga Wale in Europe is born! This little baby was born on November 2 in the Valencia Zoo in Spain. It is three feet long and weighs nearly 200 pounds! The 18 –year old mother named Yulka holds the record for being the youngest beluga to give birth in a zoo. What a lucky zoo!

Here are some cool facts about Beluga Wales.
*Beluga Wales usually live for 35 to 50 years.
*There are only 20 baby belugas in aquariums around the world.
*Their white skin helps to camouflage them in icy waters.
