THIS whale has become a sensation at an aquarium after learning how to blow halo-shaped bubbles.

The beluga has perfected the technique in the past three years and now stuns visitors with her unusual talent.

She uses her mouth to blow the water to make a current, then her blow hole to break the current into a ring shape.

The extraordinary spectacle was captured on camera by photographer Hiroya Minakuchi at the Shimane aquarium in Japan.

He is the only person outside the aquarium who is allowed to dive with the belugas.

"This beluga started making bubble rings when she was seven," he said.

"And a couple of years ago she developed her technique. I believe it is just a lot of fun for her.

"Since she developed this new game she often performs it for visitors."
