The belugas have been just such a great attraction. They’re easy to maintain. They’re funny, laughable animals. And they take to being in an aquarium very well. Public loves them, and the white-sideds are so athletic and give people a very, very good idea what these animals are physically capable of doing and how I hate to use the word intelligent, because I know that that’s a sore spot, but they are, they are, and are intelligent animals. And unfortunately we did not collect enough of them, in my opinion, to maintain an ongoing self-reproducing group of aquarium animals. We should have probably collected twice as many as we did. We put in a permit to get six of them, we should’ve gotten 12.
