Kissing the camera

This beluga whale had a pout to rival glamour model Jordan when he posed up for the camera on May 18, 2011. The cheeky eight-year-old creature, called Juno, appeared to pucker up when he spotted visitors on the other side of the glass. The bizarre spectacle was snapped by photographer Nicole Perkins at the Mystic Aquarium, in Connecticut America. The 30-year-old, from Groton, Connecticut, said she'd never seen anything like it before. [Photo/CFP]
