One of Vancouver's newest residents is causing quite a splash. Qila, a white beluga whale at the Vancouver Aquarium, gave birth to her first calf at 4:28 p.m. on June 10, 2008, and visitors have been flocking to see the little (that is, if fifty kilos is little to you) girl ever since. Every day involves a team of scientists studying the as-yet-unnamed baby's every move, as well as making sure that Qila has all the skills necessary to raise a young beluga in this modern world. (For a sneak peek into their watery home, check out the view from the Beluga Cam). Of course, when you're done oohing and aahing in the nursery, you'll find an abundance of other delights at this world-class aquarium, from the butterfly-filled Amazon Gallery to a new aquarium exhibit entitled Frogs Forever?, which takes a close look at our amphibian friends and the threats they face as they struggle to adapt to changing habitats. It just might give you a new perspective on the intersection of the human and creature worlds. Starwood has five properties in Vancouver, including the luxurious The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver.
