Qila the Beluga Gave Birth to a Baby Girl

Posted by Alex in Animal, Video Clips on June 11, 2008 at 4:04 pm


Vancouver Aquarium’s Qila the beluga gave birth yesterday, and the aquarium captured the birth on beluga-cam. The adorable baby is a girl, about 1.5 m long and weighs more than 50 kg ( lb) at birth. It’s skin is wrinkly and slate grey in color, but will gradually becomes more smooth and lighter in color as it matures.

No name yet, they’re going to hold a public contest on what to name it later. Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] | Vancouver Aquarium webpage about the birth – Thanks Meighan!

    what age are we living in, when I seriously thought that it was going to be some sort of "miracle of science" surrogate pregnancy for a human girl. (even if only for a few seconds)

    Yep, I thought it was a freaky DNA experiment.
    Doesn't "Girl" relate only to a female human child?
