Visited the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium again and I was so surprised those "little belugas" have become big belugas. The last time I visited this aquarium was 4 years ago, and belugas were still little and cute. According to the description from aquarium, baby beluga is about 150cm long and weights about 80Kg. An adult beluga may become 5m in length and weights 1500kg. So I think those belugas are still young and they are still growing. Maybe after another 4 years, they will become huge belugas.

Anyway, it is nice to see them healthy, but not sure they are happy.
