Bay of Fundy baby beluga a friendly sort < 12:53:47 AM>.
[base "]The beluga takes them totally by surprise,[per thou] Ms. Kinsman said. [base "]One fellow told me he almost swallowed his (diving) regulator.[per thou]
She said Poco follows divers around once he finds them, peering into their face masks and rolling in the air bubbles rising from their gear.
Ms. Kinsman said the divers and fishermen are not looking for the whale or going out of their way to pet him. Poco, she said, is seeking out their company.
[base "]He's so curious and interested in everything and anything going on,[per thou] she said.
A beluga is a rare sight in the Bay of Fundy. Ms. Kinsman said she suspects Poco is from the beluga population in the St. Lawrence River, although it is possible he swam down from Arctic waters. Wow. A beluga down home. We get whales there but not Belugas. This past summer Olivia and I saw one break as we stepped out on to the deck of the St. John - Digby ferry.
