Insanely Cute Video: Juno The Beluga Whale Serenaded By Mariachi Band

Prepare for one minute and forty-five seconds of pure happiness:

The band—Mariachi Connecticut—was at the Mystic Aquarium to play a wedding that was officiated in front of Juno's tank. We got a hold of Eduardo Rocha, the bandleader, who said, "Juno paid attention the whole time we played. He was very attentive and an excellent audience. He was knocking his head against the glass, like he was tipping his hat. The song is 'Yellow Bird,' it's not really one of our standards, we were just improvising." [via Laughing Squid]

Apparently Mexican music has the same effect as the water.

I hate this. Caged animals are so depressing. I'd like a Mariachi band once in a while too - if I was in fucking jail.

Point of contention: That's not a cage. A cage won't hold 750,000 gallons of water very well.

And if you don't like caged animals, why do you support jails?
