Thanks for watching! It's impossible for us to know what Hvaldimir exactly feels and thinks, and although some might see this as a beautiful interaction between humans and animals, in hindsight I personally see him as a sad example of our actions. Although Hvaldimir has learned to find fish and survive on his own (which is a miracle), it's likely that he'll never have the "social skills" to join a beluga pod, even if he ever found one (there are no pods here on the coast of Norway). But maybe he's happy with interacting with humans every now and then... who knows! Sorry it was a short video this time! If you're new here and liked it then have a look at my other (whale) videos as well 🙂
Thank you for an update on Hvaldimir! He is beautiful, and I loved that he was taught to fish and take care of himself. I saw the video of the fishermen removing the harness he had on, and have wondered how he is doing. I grew up in Oslo, now live in Oregon, USA, and love the beauty of Northern Norway during winter. I subscribed, and look forward to more videos. Stay safe, and thank you for posting! PS I listened to you speaking Finnish in another video of yours - it is a beautiful language to listen to even though I don’t understand it. :-) I enjoy listening to languages even when I don’t understand them; they all sound so different, which I find fascinating.
I’m glad to see that you understand how encouraging behavior from whales like this is a great risk to them. I wish, for the sake of this individual whale and marine mammals in general, that you take this video down. Tens of thousands of people have watched this, and many of them will want to have this “experience” themselves. If you really care about this animal and his species, maybe you should do a video about the danger this puts his kind into. Touching marine mammals, feeding them, petting them, attempting to change their behavior at all is wildlife harassment. In US waters, this is not only discouraged but illegal. If you care about their well-being, _leave them alone._ Observe from a distance. Do not approach them. Do not encourage them to approach you.
Same with me. I love to watch the ones at that the aquarium where you can watch their reactions to people playing music, looking curiously at penguins during Covid lockdown, interacting playfully with children and everything else! Plus I think they really are happy there.
Looks like he had a little bump but thankfully they have a high pain tolerance, antimicrobial compounds in their blubber and owing to their extremely strong anti-cancer genes and aforementioned, they heal up much more quickly and completely than we do
He may lacked beluga whale friends, but he is certainly not alone in Norway. Some kind people there continue to look after him. What a cute and smart animal.
@@beaverinthekitchen896 I know what u mean, I dont want people to starve, but I dont want them hunted and killed to extinction like japan and china would do. Different cultures I know but I dont give a shit. There not just some brainless fish
Hvaldimir is a social animal. He needs interaction with his "pod" or family. If all he knows are humans as his pod, then he shouldn't be ignored. Should he be treated like a petting zoo animal? Of course not, but he shouldn't be treated like he isn't there either. Since we don't know what he wants, let him do the approaching. There is a bittersweet story of Luna - an orca that adopted people in a Canadian harbor town. He apparently lost his pod and had no one to interact with except people. He constantly begged for attention The Canadian government, believing it was acting in Luna's best interest, made it a law to ignore the orca. Luna eventually died when he got too close to a boat's propellers one night after have been ignored by the people in the harbor. There's some good UA-cam videos of Luna and his story.
He’s so sweet I love to hear humans being kind and caring brings me hope in a world where we don’t always do right by our sentient freinds I hope to see such a beautiful site for myself someday x
Here in Ireland a bottle-nose dolphin that lived in a bay in Dingle, County Kerry has disappeared in the last week. He first appeared 37 years ago and in all that time was never not observed in the harbour mouth or bay for more than a few hours, but now at an estimated age of 45, it seems old age may have caught up with him and he has died and been carried out to sea. These animals are a gift to be treated with great respect and care and to teach our kids about.
Hello...I just wanted to say, I just watched your reactions and responses to the Beluga whale, and share what I know about those beautiful whales...When I was up in Churchill Manitoba, I went on a boat ride over to an island and the Beluga whales when we stopped would surround our boat, and they were so curious. They would look right into my eyes and just float there and watch you....If you reached down they seem to be communicating with you....I have never been so taken with such a mammal. They give birth to live babies and feed them milk....They are marvellous. What a thrill I had to just be near them. An experience of Love between humans an animals I will never forget....Thank you for sharing you video....Truly grateful. Carolyn D Hogarth
I just hope that Beluga is still alive today in July of 2021, and not getting too close to the back of big boats, or little ones for that matter. So adorable they are.
Beluga whales are by far the cutest, most gentle and sweetest whales to me, gentle (not so) giants 😂 honestly I could watch them all day so adorable ❤️
I avoid aquariums and zoos it just breaks my heart to see large beautiful creatures like this whale and or land creatures being penned or caged in. Thanks for sharing this very sad and yet real life story.
@@AlluringArctic some aquariums/zoos are okay.. my local aquarium is actually supports research and tries to rehabilitate/release as many animals as possible. They work on helping keeping kelp forest off the coast balanced. All seafood served is fished ethically too. Animals are only in displays for a couple hours at a time before switching. Just research where u visit.
Well, I would recommend doing some research on the zoos that are around your area. Not all of them are just taking animals from their natural habitats, there are zoos and aquariums helping out in research and coaevarion efforts to protect animals species, and a lot of times animals found in creditable facilities are eirher born in captivity or have been rescued from bad situations, and if they end up not being able to survive in the wild, then they're kept on the facility where they have a chance to live. Of course no animal should be in captivity, but there is a difference between caring for the animal and using them for your own gain that only interests humans.
Despite the word "whale" in their species name in English, belugas are classified in the dolphin side of cetaceans. Hence the human friendly behavior of your new friend. Also, this one behaves like a tamed animal. We cannot be sure of his history, but we know that some armies train cetaceans for underwater missions, like sticking a magnetic mine to enemy vessel hulls (hence the harness? ) I hope he can now fish his own food, although belugas usually hunt in groups. This one looks lonely. Unlike common dolphin family clans, beluga pods are not stable, any individual can temporarily join any pod. What about your beluga? Maybe he has been educated to prefer human given food? A way to prevent him from swimming away...
The harness originally had a GoPro mount. But who knows what he was originally trained for. Unfortunately there are no beluga pods on the coast here. Only every now and then a single young beluga "gets lost" and finds its way to Norway. Mostly they stick to Svalbard etc..
They actually look like their from the dolphin family so I always wondered if they were despite the name cause I didn’t know orcas were part of the dolphin family either, you learn something new everyday
👍Aawwww 😍I love beluga whales!!!! 🎁 They’re so humanistic. We have some at the Georgia Aquarium and I have bonded with them. I swear they remember me and recognize me with I visit. They’re so sweet. Thank you for sharing this footage. 🤗💝🤗
Great video Juho, wonderful story and so,far a happy ending. So glad his harness got removed as it was clearly restricting him. Stay safe and happy sailing. Andy UK
Thanks for thr update. I was happy with the footage but your update of this famous whale made my day in that he seems to be doing well surviving and adapting in the free open waters.
Thank you for a great video Juho, that must have been an amazing two hours watching him play with you? You will remember that moment for a very long time. Life is made of such moments. Hope you and all your viewers are doing well at this time.
Wild animals belong in their own environment !! We need to stop being selfish and stop putting them in a zoo or aquariums!! Let's take care of nature now before is too late
Claudia Palacios. - l agree with Nogs Galogs. There is a zoo locally that is free. It is mostly funded by donors. It is old and beautiful. It improves the areas for the animals. It has a pair of snow leopards and their baby. Snow leopards are hunted. I believe that some day a zoo may be the only place to see a species that is extinct in the wild due to climate change and being hunted. Not all zoos are bad. Many love their animals and give them wonderful care. Especially if the zoo is free. They are not profiting from attendance.
Claudia Palacios l think you might want to concentrate on hunters and poachers. ... or do you approve of that? Many zoos do provide habitats for animals like they live in, in the wild minus hunters and poachers.
@Jennifer Love You might want to do some research about animals in the wild. Then research animals in the zoos that provide habitat. You'd rather look at an animal in "pictures". Really?? Climate change is here and it is not improving habitats. Do you also prefer animals hunted and killed as long as they're in the wild? Do you approve of trophy hunters?
@Jennifer Love l have a life that includes having property that is a certified wildlife habitat. I was expressing my opinion and asking an honest question. Sounds like you need to "get a life."
BELUGA: "uhmm sir can you give me a massage? I'm so tired" (pets beluga) BELUGA: "YAAAAAAAAS! THATS IT! mmoooore!" (stops petting beluga) BELUGA: "why did you stop sir!?" (tries to start boat) BELUGA: (follows boat) "noooo nuh-uh if the propellers hit me it will all be into your hands mate" (stops boat) (heard the beluga making sounds as if it is talking) BELUGA: (taps boat's fender) "yeah attah' boy!you are going nowhere. Unless you finish massaging me cause i've been tired of.. (laid rubber boat) BELUGA: "O M G!? Is this..really for me?! Thank you soooo much you so you finally understand how tiring it is to swim and swim and swim.. Thank you guys! Now let me just find the (tries to look under the boat for entrance) hole, door or maybe stairs so i can get it? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe he was just lonely so extra friendly. Great story. Thank you sharing the good and bad of the situation. Stay safe, healthy and happy. Thanks again for the info re Arktika. Hope we have a chance to meet someday. I hope you are enjoying the incredible snow this year.
Beautiful animal so sad to see it alone and nit in pod. Nevertheless your part in it was very honorable and informative. Great video hope the best for that beautiful whale.❤
I alway say a prayer for these sweet and awsome, very trusting whales whho harm no one but have always been a target. They are breathtaking and worth every effort to protect and help. Lucky there are those who feel the same and offer a kind of love in friendship.
God, now I'm worried about the orcas getting him. Poor guy. He's obviously had human interaction his whole life, it'd be cruel just to cut off contact out of nowhere. He must be so confused. I hope he's doing okay, and has a long happy life.
It's so sad to see why these animals got to be lonely, why you gotta separate them can't you just take the whole pod when you capture them :< but in the first place why capture them at all 😢
He looks so lonely! Thanks for the video! I wonder if it would be best for him to be "adopted" and cared for? Or if he could be trained to be reunited with a pod? And it's definitely strange / suspicious that nobody has come forward with a story about a lost beluga they had trained. Belugas have like 4 times the number of forebrain neurons of dogs, and 2 times the number of ravens!

Absolute ADORABLE OVERLOAD and I'm jealous!!! I wanna roll around in da water wit him and hug him and kiss his jelly head and snuggle with him!!!
I think it’s sad that he was kept and released without knowing he can find food hopefully he can find fish so he stays alive
LagiNaLangAko23 that’s the theory
I’ve seen another video where a couple scientists studied his behaviour and found that he had been catching fish on a regular.
@LagiNaLangAko23 i think this is the most likely explanation. i doubt they would have released him on purpose with the harness still on.
Sounds like that whale story from free Willy

I just hope that Beluga is still alive today in July of 2021, and not getting too close to the back of big boats, or little ones for that matter. So adorable they are.
Hopefully, if he can teach himself to fish, he might also learn to "beluga" and reintegrate into whale society.
Hope a group of belugas can make it till there.
hes a wild whale! law says nations have to mark them
@@SternenruferinPatchouli1 which law?
Wendy Muir last I heard is that the whale is doing fine around the Norwegian coastline
You are joking right? I’m pretty sure they have instincts! And the whale is obviously not starving.

It's so sad to see why these animals got to be lonely, why you gotta separate them can't you just take the whole pod when you capture them :< but in the first place why capture them at all 😢
Awwww...so sweet and friendly.
Brought a little smile and light to my day 🤗
He looks so lonely! Thanks for the video!
I wonder if it would be best for him to be "adopted" and cared for? Or if he could be trained to be reunited with a pod?
And it's definitely strange / suspicious that nobody has come forward with a story about a lost beluga they had trained.
Belugas have like 4 times the number of forebrain neurons of dogs, and 2 times the number of ravens!
@@Thaleya1 Comrade Beluga?
Damn those communists dolphins!
@@Thaleya1 so has the US, suicide dolphins....
I hope that he is alright, and not too lonely! He is beautiful and so cute! These animals are also very intelligent!
I can settle the controversy right now. That’s my uncle Frank
Okay then bud 🙏
I'm just so glad Hvaldimir found his way to a place where the humans love him.
