What I like to think is that “music is the universal language”, since it is very obviously overwhelming that this lovely Beluga(and his friend in the back) understood what this man was communicating. How beautiful! Music can truly be enjoyed by all
The interesting thing is though is that the sound is totally distorted by the man playing the violin behind the glass. The beluga would get a totally different listening experience if it’s head were actually above the waterline.
True here in India we have stories of Lord Krishna playing flute and not just Godess Radha mesmerised but all animals used to flok around and walk by him as he played it
"Here is a violinist and if you look over there in the corner you can see a male with an acoustic guitar attempting to attract a mate with the classic mating call 'Wonderwall'."
I love how he floated up to get some air while pressing his head to the glass. Never looked away and his flippers barely moved. This speaks both to the power of music and bright minds out there in the natural world. We can find common ground 😅
I'm a guitarist/composer/arranger,and that violinist makes me wish we could collaborate. Every note is just delectible! And I was a Nightwatchman at the Cleveland Zoo for 30 years. It ended up being a perfect combination. I fell deeply in love with my job. Our animal kindred,let me assure you,have a vibrant inner world like us. They love,feel lonely, grieve and even laugh. Don't ever underestimate them. A few weeks ago,I sat and played guitar on my upstairs porch. A chipmunk stopped by for birdseed,but then she stopped,and just sat and listened. You'll see many more clips on RUclips of animals stopping and listening. I'm convinced that our relationship with Nature is changing,for something better,deeper and with much more loving kindness.
I don’t think humanity’s getting any better with nature, unfortunately, but I do know that animals have all the emotions you talked about, and then some. Humans didn’t get our emotions out of nowhere - we evolved with them from our ancestors, which were others animals with emotions.
The beluga certainly was mesmerized! I loved when it kept pressing its mouth afterwards, like "kisses for you, my friend." And the one in the back looked like he/she(?) was dancing. Such gorgeous, intelligent beings. Beautiful. ❤
cute though, i love it. it's pressing against the glass to see if he stopped the sound, or if it was just too quiet to come through the glass. incredible intelligence.
I know this is 8 years ago, but, I still cried. HARD. You are a beautiful Human and beautiful whale. Tears of joy from a lady that loves all living things. I adore you both. ❤️
It had just finished taking a breath when he stopped. The sound was probably different when it had broken the surface, so it might have missed the experience of some of the song.
. . . " Most animals ... are better than most people " I was told by a remarkable mentor , guide and true ' mountain man ' ( Are you still out there , Duncan Martin? ) I did not quite ... 'get it' in my mid-teens , I do so now and have done for a long time , over 4 decades on . You said so little but taught me so much ... " up hill and down dale "
I’ve watched so many videos of people playing different instruments for different animals. I always love their reaction to music. And oh so nice of the people playing for animals. It’s totally awesome!
LOL, this! At first I thought the beluga wanted a higher view of the violin-playing human, but then I saw the surface of the water, then I was like, oh! it needed to breathe!
At this point I'm pretty sure it's way sadder for beluga whales in the wild that have to deal with ocean pollution and human dangers, than the one kept in nice and well cared for zoo environments
Beautiful!…God has a way with using animals to make us smile…felt the true love and beauty in this video…maybe God was sending his love and appreciation through this man and baluga whale connection…🥰🥰🥰
That was awesome! He was fascinated. You can see the wheels turning. He really enjoyed it, but he wanted to know what the sounds was. It's the very first time he's ever heard music 🎶 in his life (assuming this is the first time someone has played music for him). Imagine it's the first time you ever heard it. Beautiful animal, awesome people are kind enough to do this. Great great video!
Belugas are such cute and lovely whales, the cutest of all. And this adorable beluga sure knows how to appreciate great music. Awww, so beautiful and fascinating about a violinist and a sweet beluga whale. Great video full of beauty. Thank you for sharing it, it is enjoyable. ♥️♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍♥️♥️🥰♥️😍
It touches me. It shows again that there is so much more than trouble in the world. We need moments we can share. And may be never forget. Thank you for showing us this outstanding moment in life.
You could see the Beluga feeling the music! He was moving his head and fins the way I do when I feel a piece of music… Lovely. And the Beluga in the background was dancing.
FABULOUSLY EMOTIONAL! Absolutely brought tears to my eyes! Our creator made these beautiful creatures with emotions & sadly so many are tormented! Love how the Beluga surfaced for air gently remaining composure and eye contact! Lord thank you for these beautiful creatures & this gentleman!❤❤❤ Kindest regard, Kerri, Perth Western Australia
I know these whales! The one watching the violinist is Juno (the silly in the background is Kela). I had the privilege of getting to meet Juno up close and pet him, learn about him, and even take part in his enrichment. He absolutely loves humans and is completely fascinated by us, perhaps as much as we are by him. He’s incredibly playful and curious and loves when musicians visit or anyone else he thinks particularly interesting. He’s an amazing creature and I miss him very much, it’s so wonderful to see these videos of him and his friends in mystic. Also for anyone complaining, he and Kela were captive bred. They can’t live in the wild. Mystic Aquarium is not only a haven fir captive bred or rescued animals but a research center - the workers will document his health and behavior as well as Kela’s and use it to help understand and save their wild counterparts. It was also requested that the whale facility become part of the aquarium as Mystic has a rich history with whaling, and because the local Native tribe (the Mashantucket Pequot people) have a love and admiration for whales - whales are sacred to many tribes.
Just like people have different interest, animals have different interest. The others animals were not interested, but look how focused this cute pie was. I was expecting him to move along, but even after the music stopped he stood there. I really love animals. They are so precious and innocent like children.
And then humans are saying animals do not have souls and can't have feelings. At the end, you can be the biggest ingenior of the world, if you do not have compassion and love for humans, animals and the Earth itself, then you are just a stupid human.

Sir, I just wanted to say thank you VERY MUCH INDEED for entertaining that TRULY MAGNIFICENT animal. With my VERY BEST wishes, Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.
@@Automedon2 I would rather say, a Human making the day better for a captive. That was a bright moment in this narrow life i assume. I wish him freedom and I wish him a concert everyday.
Fun fact: the ‘bump’ on a Beluga’s head is called the Melon and is used to aid in its receiving of echolocating pulses the Beluga or it’s companions may make, so when the Beluga starts pressing its head against the glass it’s akin to a person pressing their ear to a closed door or a wall to hear the other side better, they are really listening keenly!
Yes… The senses of animals are more acute.. I’m pretty sure the beluga heard him play.. ❤ and I think it meant so so much to the wonderful violinist who seems confined to his chair..
Tig ol' Bitties if you think those are insults, you are an obvious poorly educated child and need to start using your heart and brain and grow up a little.
@@Cassxowary Look you can be gay, you can be closeted, or you can be a virgin. But if you're all 3 then that's just sad and I feel bad for your parents
I have to find and upload the rest of the videos we did clap he played other songs but the jerks at the zoo kicked him out and said he was disrupting the animals 🤬 we all tried to have him stay but they escorted him out and he continued playing all the way out and we Clapped I'm going to find my SD card with the rest of the videos 💖
@@CrystalP2680 They kicked him out??? Unbelievable. This was pure magic. I wanted to dance and cry watching this interaction. I got a little irritated with the humans who couldn't shut up, but that's humans for you these days.
You do realise that is how it breathes right? It leaned forward just so that it could take oxygen. It’s a mammal unlike a fish. But it’s definitely intrigued by the music....
@Joseph Anand ...it's taking oxygen from the glass? also nobody is saying that isn't how it breathes, the person just said that they thought it was cute
Belugas use echolocation to navigate their environments. Because of this, their brains process sound like ours process vision. This beluga can actually "see" the sounds the violin makes.
@Alchemist sorry to half piss on your parade, though this evidence isn't directly useful with it not being about a beluga. It is however still about a cetacean: www.researchgate.net/publication/279942430_Diffusion_tensor_imaging_of_dolphin_brains_reveals_direct_auditory_pathway_to_temporal_lobe This proves that atleast dolphins have a direct link between what you complained they didn't or lack of evidence there of. Is this sufficient enough evidence to possibly bring the conversation about to one of, dolphins and whales "might" see echolocation clicks similarly to how we perceive light through our retina. Possibly with less verbal vitriol.... Sheesh.
@@DurzoBlunts except we're not looking at a dolphin you dumb fuck, but a beluga. if you made a claim about a deer and i showed you an article about a goddamn moose, how useful would that be? shithead
Just goes to show how intelligent they are. And the fact that he stayed there and listened to the whole thing is so cool! That they have a great attention span. They’re capable of great emotion.❤
@Frost Flower same, maybe you just don't know how to listen. It sounds passionate, I'll give him that, but there's a few slip ups and that really hurts when it's only one violin playing
So thick glass isn't sound proof?...stop that disneyfication of animals...its maybe interested by the movement...any food here? No.no food...swim another round in this mind numbing basin....
Everyone asking about if he could hear it through the glass, as it's a vibration and whales are very sensitive to vibrations I think he heard it perhaps more deeply than we could perceive with our decibel perception range. He was clearly very captivated up until violin dude stopped.
Beluga whales have a sonar bruh they click noise underwater it travels around bounces off shit like creatures for food and rocks and ish and then bounces back and is collected in the lower jaw as information
They're one of the best hear-ers on earth. Their advanced brains specifically evolved for sonar. So he's listening to the music; and even better than we can. Notice the subtle head motions as he follows the changing notes, we do that too..
There’s other comments stating the sound didn’t reach their ears as the medium it’s a different density. I’d like to think they heard it :). Loved the connection there.
In case you were wondering, the man playing the fiddle is Paul Baker of the band Brigid's Cross! The beluga whale is named Juno, and this video was shot at the Mystic Seaport Aquarium in Connecticuit!
@@gregpickett8816 I spoke with Paul this evening. He said what he was playing was an original piece he was working on at the time as well as just riffing the sounds the belugas were making. So, I guess you might call it a duet!

This is proof, that music, is indeed a universal language!
I always liked what Santori said in Amadeus about Mozarts music
He said Mozart was merely a messenger, and the music he wrote was the voice of god
Classic music is not all
Cows also love music
The interesting thing is though is that the sound is totally distorted by the man playing the violin behind the glass. The beluga would get a totally different listening experience if it’s head were actually above the waterline.

Fun fact: the ‘bump’ on a Beluga’s head is called the Melon and is used to aid in its receiving of echolocating pulses the Beluga or it’s companions may make, so when the Beluga starts pressing its head against the glass it’s akin to a person pressing their ear to a closed door or a wall to hear the other side better, they are really listening keenly!
The look on the whale's face says it all , happiness
Oh yeah that Beluga loved it
Yes… The senses of animals are more acute.. I’m pretty sure the beluga heard him play.. ❤ and I think it meant so so much to the wonderful violinist who seems confined to his chair..
@@MsHSpring yes there was a momentary bond shared there and not gonna lie, moistened my eyes a bit lol
Since they communicate by sound must be mesmerized by an unusual sound 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I don't know who's enjoying the music more; the beluga paying rapt attention; or the one in back doing an interpretive dance.
That seriously just made me cry! You know the whale can hear him because it isn't looking at him at all, it's listening to him.
Amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
Guy: **plays violin like a pro**
Beluga: .___.
Beluga: :3

Pro is a bit of stretch but it sounds good!
The beluga: he has a shiny head and speaks whale why isn’t he in here?
Man: beluga whales like violins?
🤣
LMAO
🤣🤣🤣
Underrated comment 😂
Don’t give that beluga whale a net.
Beautiful Creature and Music 🌟💫🌟💕
So beautiful & moving.🎶🎵❤️🩷🧡
He’s such a beautiful whale.
@chris balbo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ur moms a beautiful whale
In the water or in the chair?
@chris balbo Ew if you eat those animals, loser.
@@thonking2208 are you a grade schooler? No you ARE
Anyone else notice when he surfaced for air he still stayed underwater to maintain eye contact? That was beautiful
Stop 😭😭😭….it was…
Yo wtf a fish need AIR they live in WATER fake liberal media lying to us
And it kind of mashed its adorable, squishy head! ❤
“Excuse me, I must take a breath”
are they snacks in Japan??
shed some tears because of this beautiful beautiful moment, thank you for uploading this...
I think all animals appreciate beautiful sounds. His music was lovely.
No one’s gonna talk about the whale just vibing in the back?
Well he just broke up with his gal few days back,and this music makes him even sadder
1:30 he just e n t e r s 😂😂
Tig ol' Bitties if you think those are insults, you are an obvious poorly educated child and need to start using your heart and brain and grow up a little.
@@Cassxowary Look you can be gay, you can be closeted, or you can be a virgin. But if you're all 3 then that's just sad and I feel bad for your parents
@@sandippaul468 I feel bad for the beluga's friend
I can't believe nobody clapped for the man. That was beautiful ❤
I have to find and upload the rest of the videos we did clap he played other songs but the jerks at the zoo kicked him out and said he was disrupting the animals 🤬 we all tried to have him stay but they escorted him out and he continued playing all the way out and we Clapped I'm going to find my SD card with the rest of the videos 💖
@@CrystalP2680 They kicked him out??? Unbelievable. This was pure magic. I wanted to dance and cry watching this interaction. I got a little irritated with the humans who couldn't shut up, but that's humans for you these days.
I think they respected the moment of connection
Why they do that? Thats not fair! I feel sorry for him
The man played so beautifully.
Just came across this, how beautiful brought a tear to my eyes😢 .
They are the sweetest babies ❤😊
When the beluga pressed its head against the window. So cute the soft spot. Like a big marshmallow baby.
MzYum YUM699 my heart just melted when I saw that!!!!🥺🥰❤️
Yes,is sooo cute 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👻💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
You do realise that is how it breathes right? It leaned forward just so that it could take oxygen. It’s a mammal unlike a fish. But it’s definitely intrigued by the music....
@Joseph Anand ...it's taking oxygen from the glass?
also nobody is saying that isn't how it breathes, the person just said that they thought it was cute
@@magma1264 you need to google how a Dolphin Breathes.
Plot twist: the Beluga was actually a violinist in his past life
Do you mean past life?
@@sapphirefranchi8830 yeah he meant that 😂
Idk why this though made me tear up
You never know. Sometimes I see animals with so much personality that I wonder if they really were people in their past life...it’s amazing
Damn dude had to make it sad af
Not only am I amazed by this interaction, I’m VERY mesmerized ♥️
So beautiful.❤
Been learning a lot about whales lately. Such beautiful, magnificently magical creatures. 🐳💙
Belugas use echolocation to navigate their environments. Because of this, their brains process sound like ours process vision. This beluga can actually "see" the sounds the violin makes.
@Alchemist you have no way to prove it's false
donjaime23 - ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!
@Alchemist if you truly want to spread knowledge try not be an ass in the process. Maybe you'll be more successful
@Alchemist sorry to half piss on your parade, though this evidence isn't directly useful with it not being about a beluga. It is however still about a cetacean: www.researchgate.net/publication/279942430_Diffusion_tensor_imaging_of_dolphin_brains_reveals_direct_auditory_pathway_to_temporal_lobe
This proves that atleast dolphins have a direct link between what you complained they didn't or lack of evidence there of. Is this sufficient enough evidence to possibly bring the conversation about to one of, dolphins and whales "might" see echolocation clicks similarly to how we perceive light through our retina. Possibly with less verbal vitriol.... Sheesh.
@@DurzoBlunts except we're not looking at a dolphin you dumb fuck, but a beluga.
if you made a claim about a deer and i showed you an article about a goddamn moose, how useful would that be? shithead
Plot twist:
It’s one way glass and the whale was just looking at his reflection.
Loool
LMAO
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH😂
Oop
The beluga probably could still hear the sound, and if so, it would be even more curious
That was beautiful! Music really is a universal language across all species! ❤
Just goes to show how intelligent they are. And the fact that he stayed there and listened to the whole thing is so cool! That they have a great attention span. They’re capable of great emotion.❤
The beluga in the background was just vibing and I couldn't help laughing as he slowly drifted out of frame upside down
LOL YES someone said it was doing a "contemporary swim" and that comment made me laugh so much
Bruh i cant stop laughing now 😂😂😂😂🤣
Every comment is about the beluga, so I'll write about this guy : the way he played the violin is amazing 😍
It was very good.
Not really tbh
Not really
@Frost Flower same, maybe you just don't know how to listen. It sounds passionate, I'll give him that, but there's a few slip ups and that really hurts when it's only one violin playing
@@theformoverfunction if you think youre better than him, just prove it. there are a lot of imposter in the internet
Otherworldly beauty. Thank you Sir.
That was beautiful in every way! Accept that the whale is not free. But the playing and the interaction was magic! ❤
This musician plays so beautifully. He could not ask for a more appreciative audience. Communion transcends language.
Patricia Alley I think communion is a catholic ritual
You mean good vibrations transcends species.
Well said Patricia.
So thick glass isn't sound proof?...stop that disneyfication of animals...its maybe interested by the movement...any food here? No.no food...swim another round in this mind numbing basin....
@@KoiYakultGreenTea Nah, it's a human ritual and existed long before catholicism.
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen! I just love animals! 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beyond beautiful.
Beluga 1: dude, just listen! 🥺
Beluga 2: I must DANCE 💃
exactly
😂😂🤍
I can't unsee it and now I'm laughing so hard😂😂😂
There’s something very mystical of the way they swim. Like an ancient people who chose the water instead of the land and now swim forever like spirits
Wow what a thought brother.
That’s close to what happened. Whale ancestors were once land-dwelling mammals that chose to go back into the water.
Beautiful & poetic.
Derek No wonder people thought they (and the sea cows) were mermaids!
Ok, Joe Rogan.
Спасибо ОГРОМНОЕ за ПРЕКРАСНОЕ видео! Какая ПРЕЛЕСТЬ! Какой(ая) УМНИЦА! Всем - ЗДОРОВЬЯ и ДОБРА!
Beautiful. Thankyou
Everyone asking about if he could hear it through the glass, as it's a vibration and whales are very sensitive to vibrations I think he heard it perhaps more deeply than we could perceive with our decibel perception range. He was clearly very captivated up until violin dude stopped.
Beluga whales have a sonar bruh they click noise underwater it travels around bounces off shit like creatures for food and rocks and ish and then bounces back and is collected in the lower jaw as information
So it definitely heard
@@AM-fh7ek sound is vibration......
David Thomas Well, it’s like they say, “you can’t touch music, but music can touch you.”
And you could see him/her pressing his/her nose and forehead up against the glass, maybe to hear more clearly.
This is the mystic aquarium, that's Juno! He's such a curious cutie and he has splashed many a visitor over the top of the tank haha
Yes🥰
Juno! 😍😍😍😍
Poor Juno, he will never in his entire life be free.
@@gabiwonderwall0582 still better than dying because of the inability to survive in the wild
@@gabiwonderwall0582 he doesn't want to be
she's enjoying much the music ...How lovely
How precious❤ Thank God for blessing us with such beauty❤
They're one of the best hear-ers on earth. Their advanced brains specifically evolved for sonar. So he's listening to the music; and even better than we can. Notice the subtle head motions as he follows the changing notes, we do that too..
Yes!
I noticed that! He looks like he could be the conductor.
I love your positive commentary. I adore animals so much, too❤
There’s other comments stating the sound didn’t reach their ears as the medium it’s a different density. I’d like to think they heard it :). Loved the connection there.
Oh wow. I rewatched it and he is moving with the notes !! Super cool
In case you were wondering, the man playing the fiddle is Paul Baker of the band Brigid's Cross! The beluga whale is named Juno, and this video was shot at the Mystic Seaport Aquarium in Connecticuit!
What is the name of that song? I need to learn it now.
Awesome! Thanks!❤
Beautiful
@@gregpickett8816 I spoke with Paul this evening. He said what he was playing was an original piece he was working on at the time as well as just riffing the sounds the belugas were making. So, I guess you might call it a duet!
@@achase9998 Gonna be needing that track, please. Lol.
Sweet angels, both.
Chega a ser assustador, de tão maravilhosa que é a experiência que música boa, simples, e sincera, pode causar...!
Man: Plays beautiful melancholic music on his violin
Beluga: 👁👄👁
