Ngolunye usuku, ngafaka isandla sami emlonyeni whale futhi ngambamba ngokuqinile ngolimi. Ngempela.
Ukuba umlobi wokuhamba njalo kuyinto enhle. Lapha e-New England, ngiye ngabona izibopho eziseduze, ngifaka isikhunta somntwana , ngigcwele ama- llamas , i- lobster ebanjwe, ngifake i- Clydesdale futhi ngibheke izintshe ze-teddy zishintshe izibilini zazo ngamamayela angu-100 ngehora.
Kodwa manje njengoba ngifake i-whale i-Beluga ngolimi, ngiye ngakwenza ngempela konke.
I-1,100-pound beluga empeleni yayibonakala ijabulela ukukhuluma ulimi lwakhe ngamandla, ngakho-ke lapho umqeqeshi engikhuthaza ukuba ngifinyelele isandla sami futhi futhi ngiphakamise uphahla lomlomo kaKela ukuze ngibone ukuthi yimuphi umsindo ozokwenza, ngikujabulele ukukunikeza hamba ... futhi ujabule nakakhulu ukuzwa "i-squeak" ejabulisayo kunokuthile okufana ne "chomp chomp."
Amabhunu aseBelga, awaziwa nangokuthi ama-whales amhlophe, ahlukaniswa njengamawhale, ngemva kwakho konke. Ngangivele nginethuba lokuthinta amazinyo angama-Kela futhi ngifunde ukuthi umntanakho uyalimaza kunokuba alume ngokuwenza i- "O" ngeminwe yami futhi avumele ukuthi i-beluga ikhombise ukuthi yiziphi izikhathi zokugcina zokupheka nezinkathi okumelwe zizizwe. Yebo!
Njengamanje, ngiyazi ukuthi kufanele uzibuze: "Kim, kanjani eMhlabeni uke wavuka emathini nge-beluga futhi, okubaluleke nakakhulu, ngingakwenza kanjani lokhu futhi?"

I-Mystic Aquarium e-Mystic, e-Connecticut, yaqala ukuhlinzeka ngohlelo lwayo lwe-Beluga Encounter Programme ngo-2000. U-Aquarist Kristine Magao, umqeqeshi owahola iqembu lethu labane emathini kanye nomunye wabaqeqeshi abathintekayo ekunikezeni lolu hlelo emphakathini, wachaza ukuthi i-Mystic Aquarium enye yezindawo ezimbili kuphela kuleli zwe elihlinzeka izivakashi ithuba lokuthinta nokuxhumana ne-belugas. Enye i-SeaWorld eTexas.
"Luhlelo oluyingqayizivele kakhulu," kusho uMagao, wanezela: "Enye yezinhloso zethu eziyinhloko ekwenzeni lolu hlelo kufundisa abantu nge-belugas."
Ukunikezwa nsuku zonke kusukela ngoMeyi kuya ku-Okthoba, imihlangano yeBelgaga Incounter iqala ngomjikelezo wamaminithi angu-20, lapho abahlanganyeli bengaboni khona izingubo zabo ukuze bahlale befudumele futhi bome ngesikhathi sawo emathonjeni. I-Belugas, engekho engozini, ivame ukutholakala emanzini ase-Arctic nase-Arctic-Sub-Arctic, ngakho-ke ungacabanga ukuthi amanzi esiteni usehlangothini olubandayo.
Ngemva kokufunda kancane mayelana nemikhomo, kanye namathiphu abalulekile okuthi ungayigubha kanjani lapho uzinqa-ezijulile kuma-waders ukuze ungaphumeleli futhi uwele engxenyeni ejulile ye-tank, kwakuyisikhathi sokuba sihlangabezane neKela, omunye ama-belugas amane ahlala e-Mystic Aquarium. Konke kunamagama angama-Inuit, noKela, okufutshane neKelalukak, okusho ukuthi, "omhlophe oholayo," kwakuyinto encane kakhulu ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kwami.
Wayebonakala emkhulu kunokuphila kimi, ngakho angikwazi ukucabanga ukuthi ngabe ngabe ngizizwa kanjani ubuso nobuso ngendwangu yamadoda angamamitha angu-2 100.
Phakathi nehora lethu lesigamu emanzini, uKela wayebambisana ngokumangalisayo ngokusivumela ukuba sithinte umsila wakhe, siphelile futhi sibuyele emuva, sibheke ngqo emgodini wakhe, futhi sibambelele "ikhaloni" yakhe isakhiwo esinamafutha, esiyindilinga phezulu kwekhanda lakhe, eliguqula umumo njengoba ehambisa irekhodi layo lemisindo.
U-Kela wayeyintandokazi futhi wabonakala ejabulile ukuba nengane. UMagao uthe, "U-Kela uthambekele ekukhulumeni kakhulu; uyajabula." Izikhathi ezithandwa kakhulu zamahale omhlophe kanye nama-gossipy-sounding sounding amazwi aphikisana noMoo. "Ngithanda lezi zilwane engizisebenzelana nazo," kusho umqeqeshi. "Uba nobuhlobo nabo."

Amaqembu e-Beluga Ahlangene anqunyelwe abantu abayisithupha, futhi abahlanganyeli kumele babe okungenani ama-5 ubude. Kwakukhona nabanye abathathu besigaba sami, futhi ngizobe ngithembekile - sonke sasihlangana nokuhlangana kwethu kokuqala ne-beluga whale ngesibindi.
UMagao uthe akuvamile ukuthi umuntu obhalisele uhlelo ukubuyela emuva ngokuphelele, nakuba abanye benqaba ukuthinta i-whale, futhi lokho kulungile kahle.
"Abantu bafudumala ngasekupheleni kweseshini," esho, futhi kulula ukuqonda ukuthi kungani. Ukuziphatha okuhle kukaKela nokudlala ukudlala ngokushesha kwasenza sonke sigxilile ngokuqiniseka ngasemaphethelweni enkampanini lapho sasimela khona uhlelo.
