This was a rather unique take on Ocean Discovery seen during Spring Break 2024, featuring a beluga-only intro (it's usually both belugas and dolphins) and working the dolphins from the glass for Adaptations! See below for highlights:
0:30 Intro with belugas Martha, Crissy, and Luna starting with Martha's pod swim
2:24 Beluga Glasswork with Pearl, Crissy, Martha, and Luna. Pearl doesn't do every show and has a dark gray coloration even though she's an adult!
- 2:50 Pearl turns quickly underwater, like a washing machine!
- 4:08 Beluga vocals from everyone but Pearl, unfortunately Pearl didn't do her signature burp when asked!
5:56 Beluga Play with Luna and Crissy, they did great! Starting with their group marlin at stage, unfortunately I cut off Luna!
- 6:51 Crissy mimic hula and double pec wave
- 7:24 I liked my angle for Crissy's fluke wave and Luna's peek
- 8:04 Luna does a bow!
10:14 Dolphin Adaptations with Ipo, Bolt, Avalon, and Hailey, and this is so far the only time I've seen this done from the glass instead of at stage!
- 11:10 Ipo's tailwalk
- 11:27 Avalon's back breach as Bolt plays with a hose at the glass
13:02 Finale starting with Ipo's spin swim, followed immediately by Hailey's spin bow and Bolt's breakspin
- 14:10 Hailey's front flips
- 14:30 Ipo, Avalon, and Bolt backwards tailwalk
