Baby Beluga has a name


The Baby Beluga's Name is... TIQA!

Tiqa (pronounced TEE-ka) stands for:

“T” is for Tuesday (the day of the week on which the beluga calf was born)
“I” is for Imaq (pronounced: EE-mak), Tiqa’s father
“Q” is for Qila (pronounced: KEE-lah), Tiqa’s mother
“A” is for Aurora, Tiqa’s grandmother

The picture above is an origami of a beluga mother and calf by Joseph Wu, an internationally renowned origami artist. His site is :

(I don't know why these web addresses I put in my blog entries are not "clickable". Anyone have the answer? In the meantime, you'll have to access them the "long way" - cut & paste - sorry about that!
