Belugas change colors as they grow.Adult belugas are pure white. But a newborn beluga is pale gray and then turns dark blue or brown after a month. As the baby grows, its color fades. By its third birthday, the young whale turns pale gray again. It won"t turn white until it"s six. Scientists use these color changes to estimate the age of individuals in a herd. Stunning scale model ocean replicas expertly sculpted with the collaboration of the scientists of the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California. This unique colletion of ocean creatures are found in the waters off the coast of the Half Moon Bay which is where the aquarium is located. It is approximately 100 miles south of San Francisco. The mission of the aquarium is to foster ocean conservation and protect it and its sea dwellers throughout the world. Safari shares this commitment with them.
