Allya the Beluga whale at an aquarium in western Japan has learned to blow bubble rings. In the wild, some dolphins and whales blow bubble rings by inhaling air through their blowholes and releasing it through their mouths underwater. But thanks to scuba diving equipment, Allya can do it anytime. Allya clearly loves interacting with her audience. She aims the bubbles at spectators as they peer in through the glass. www.itnsource.com Reuters 2989/06
