Katak, the Brave Beluga

Katak wants to grow up so badly, but he still looks younger than his peers. On top of that, very few others believe that he is capable of being independent. However, an unusual ocean voyage will turn his life around by 180 degrees. Now is the time to conquer the great North!

Katak is one of the belugas, or white whales, whose name comes from the white colour of their body. They aren't born like this; they turn brighter with age. Katak's skin remains persistently grey, so he has to use a different way to prove to the whole bunch that he is no longer a baby. When his grandmother talks dreamily about his grandfather living at the other end of the ocean, Katak decides to take matters into his own flippers. As he searches for his relative, he joins forces with an intrusive but hilarious sturgeon and finds out that practising scuba diving has been worth it. The young marine mammal will learn about the importance of family and will no longer feel like a fish out of water among his loved ones!

Did you know that…

belugas, just like dolphins, can swim backwards and move their heads in different directions? This unusual ability is related to the fact that their neck vertebrae are not connected to each other.
