on the
Baby
Whale at
the
Shedd
Aquarium.

Beluga
Whale is
learning
new
behaviors,
by
mimicking
his
mother,
and at

Mimicry
is a
natural
way to
learn,
and he's
trying

these
behaviors

spent an

something
that his
mother,
Puiji,
does all
the
time.
"It took
him
several
days to
master,
and now
it's one
of his
favorite
things
to do."
