SAN ANTONIO — SeaWorld announced the new name of its newest baby beluga whale on Facebook on Friday.
On Tuesday, theme park had asked its visitors to help choose a name for the baby boy. The options were Ryukzak– Russian for backpack (He often rests on his mother Luna's back like a backpack.), Tulok - of Inuit origin, "warrior of the stars", and Yuka - of Inuit origin, "bright star".
Once the votes were tallyed, the baby beluga whale was officially named...TULOK! Seaworld says his mother, Luna, has a celestial name, so its only fitting that he does as well.
Luna gave birth to TULOK back in July, park officials said.
