The Taxonomy of Shipboard Creatures – Part 6

Belugas: This species prefers aquatic environments such as the pool and the hot tub.  They are characterized by a HUGE displacement of water upon entry into their usual habitat.  If by some bizarre circumstance you fail to see the entry splashdown of these creatures, you can usually identify them by their huge rounded masses of variable-colored blubber protruding above the surface of the water.  Their colors include such unmistakable shades as pasty white, lobster red, volcanic-ash grey, mole brown, and varicose-vein blue.  Not infrequently, this stunning palette of color can be found on a single specimen!  Subspecies of the Belugas include: Men who should wear shirts; Men who should NOT wear Speedos; and Women who should wear burkas.  One always knows when elderly Belugas have made an appearance because that is when the pool boy arrives with water-testing chemistry.
