As per the title.

Seems quite happy and a little bit lost.

Best of luck.

Hope it is ok, doesn't usually end well for them, lets hope this one gets back to where it should be.

May be smarter than he looks. Realised Gravesenders would have no idea what Caviar was or where it came from.

That could be bad news then, if they think it comes from Beluga whales.

Being a former resident, I had to double check it was actually a whale, rather than one of the monstrosities that can usually be found on the high street dragging around 6 kids

The Daily Mash is suggesting it turned around when it found out the price of a pint in London.

Maybe it was concerned it'd put on a few pounds and was just going into town to the whale-weigh station.

Maybe the Whale didn't get the memo?

A lot of people must assume it comes from the Whale. Which doesn't really make it any better

I never made the mental link between the sturgeon and the whale, even with the word Beluga attached to them. Think it just means 'White' or something.

They're probably in for a shock when they find out about sperm. hehe

Beluga is from old Russian words meaning a big white thing. The beluga, or European sturgeon, is a very large grey to white fish. The beluga whale is a white whale.
