onearth:   Your weekly dose of Eco Porn: Newborn Beluga Bonds with Rescuers (and Breaks Hearts) After only day two or three of his life, this baby beluga’s time nearly ran out. After losing his pod during a storm, the newborn was swimming near Bristol Bay all alone. Fortunately, the Alaska SeaLife Center — the same folks that took in our favorite otter orphan — came to the young whale’s aid. The beluga calf is the first to be rescued from U.S. waters, but he’s not out of the woods (so to speak) yet. Sadly, his condition is so touch-and-go, the center has been reluctant to give him a name. But experts from all over the country (Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, and SeaWorld-San Diego) have flown to Seward, Alaska, to help him pull through. And as you can see, he seems to be taking to his new human pod.
