Delphinapterus leucas
Photographed at Arctic Watch Lodge, Cunningham Inlet, Somerset Island, Nunavut. Arctic Watch is home to one of the largest beluga whale congregations on earth. Home to an annual 2000 beluga whales, the whales spend one month in the esturary of the Cunningham River, playing in the shallow water, frolicking, jumping, etc.. I photographed this image on a sunny day, standing from the shoreline; a few yards away, this whale kept surfacing, playing with its tail, and doing "Bananas"...

"Unlike most cetaceans, beluga whales have an extremely flexible neck and can turn their head almost 90 degrees to the side. Their lips are also flexible and can form a variety of facial expressions"
