For the first time in Russia, a cub of a beluga whale was born in captivity. The baby and his mother, the beluga whale Jessica, live in the Primorsky Aquarium in Vladivostok. As they said in the aquarium, the baby's father, a beluga whale named Ler, tried not to leave the baby with his mother for a long time in the first days of his life. Cubs of beluga whales stay with their mother until at least two years of age.
