Beluga ( Delphinapterus Leucas ) Bubble Bursts: Surprise, Protection, or Play?
International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2013 Cetaceans produce a variety of bubble displays, ranging from bubble streams to very large bursts of air. Previous research has indicated that different types of bubbles serve different functions. Using archival video data, we investigated the frequency and function of bubble behavior for four beluga mother-calf pairs housed at Sea World San Antonio ...

Use of water as a tool by a beluga (Delphinapterus leucas)
, 2023 Captive belugas ( Delphinapterus leucas ) often spit water as object play. One female beluga spit water at a ball to obtain it for play. We examined whether or not this behavior could be considered a tool-use behavior. When the ball was placed 10 cm from the poolside, the beluga poked the ball with her rostrum, while she often spit water at the ball at
