touch a whale

was his name, a beautiful Orca whale. It was during my trip to MarineLand in Ontario a couple years ago. Boy was it such an amazing experience. I was able to touch him and feed him, although I was tempted to ask the trainer if I could rub his tongue (haha). I think they are such majestic creatures, I was completely awe-struck being that close to such a huge animal.

I did feel sad, though, for the whales. There were 3 or 4 that I could see in what seemed to me like a very small tank, although I know there was more to their environment than we could see.
