Birds and Bees.... and Beluga Whales


A trip to the Georgia Aquarium proved to be more educational than we had fathomed. The Beluga whales are the biggest attraction there. Nico, the male Beluga, is the resident Romeo and shares his tank with three female Belugas (Maris, Natasha, and Marina), who are on breeding loan from the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium.

We stood in front of the exhibit and watched the playful antics of the majestic marine mammals. But the Belugas ended up being more of a show stopper than we had imagined.... After fooling around for a bit, things started heating up and we watched a National Geographic moment unravel before our eyes. The soft lighting and mood music added to the ambiance and the crowd cheered on Nico.......
