Man Plays Fetch With Beluga Whale. 4 Million Views For Incredible Video

A viral video has captured the incredible moment a beluga whale played 'fetch the ball' with a man on a boat. According to Metro News, the video was filmed near the Arctic Pole as a group of rugby fans used a ball to play fetch with the beluga whale. They were reportedly using an official 2019 Rugby World Cup ball for this unusual game.

New Zealand Herald reports that the video was taken by crew members aboard the Gemini Craft, which is currently at sea in the Arctic Pole.

The video begins with the beluga whale giving the ball to a man on the boat. The man then tosses the rugby ball back in water, and the friendly beluga whale is seen chasing it and returning it to him again.
