Recently, a video of a man smoking in the Dalian Oceanarium being extinguished by a beluga whale spraying water has gone viral online, and on the evening of December 8, it topped the hot search list on Weibo.
According to the online information, a man wearing a jacket approached a sculpture of a grey whale, took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth. When the staff at the oceanarium noticed, they quickly ran over to stop him. The man seemed reluctant to listen to advice and even gestured as if to argue back.
At that moment, a beluga whale in the water tank of the oceanarium emerged from the surface and suddenly sprayed a jet of water towards the man, extinguishing his cigarette. When the man turned around in confusion, the beluga whale even made a sound resembling a warning.
The video quickly sparked discussions among netizens after being posted online. Many praised, “This action is more standard than a fire drill.” “This grown man is clueless; even dolphins understand better than him.” “The beluga is truly amazing.” “Must give a thumbs up to the baby dolphins.” “This beluga is so spiritually aware.”
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting rules and regulations in public places, especially those that prioritize not only human safety but also the well-being of animals. It also highlights the intelligent and empathetic nature of marine life, showcasing how even animals can exhibit a sense of right and wrong.
The video has not only entertained netizens but has also brought attention to the need for greater awareness and responsibility when interacting with animals in captive environments. It serves as a lesson that actions can have consequences, whether intended or not, and that mutual respect between humans and animals is crucial in fostering a harmonious coexistence.
