Competitors had to sink to the bottom of an aquarium's 20ft arctic pool and stay there for as long as possible amid the beluga whales at Polar Land in Harbin, north east China.

But when Yun, 26, tried to head to the surface she found her legs were crippled by cramps.

"I began to choke and sank even lower and I thought that was it for me ? I was dead. Until I felt this incredible force under me driving me to the surface," she explained.

Mila, the Beluga whale, had spotted her difficulties and using her sensitive dolphin-like nose guided Yun safely to the surface.

All hail Mila the Beluga whale, not only is she one of the most beautiful creatures on this planet, but she's also a part time lifeguard.

Mila will be signing autographs on the European leg of her world tour commencing 29th september.

Gotta love the whales.
I loved how at the bottom of the linked story, it ended with Intelligent Belugas were among the first whales to interact with man and have facial muscles that allow them to smile.

Awwwwwwwwhhhhh.

some cetaceans have comparable intelligence to humans. it's definitely interesting that the whale saw the danger the diver was in and how it reacted. i wonder if you could teach them a mutual language.

You weren't being an asshole to me!, but hey I accept your apology, I felt great and then a stranger says sorry to me just in case. This day can only get better.

Heh.. I'm now grinning like an idiot. For every story about someone killing a pregnant woman and stealing her foetus, there are stories like this

I believe, apart from that reason, it's this one: Shits and Giggles.

OT: Ah, whales and Dolphins bloody rock, don't they?

Truly a stupid competition but three cheers for the awesome Beluga whales.
