## Caption

Shila the beluga whale is about to turn two-years old! 🎂 Head to our stories for an early birthday celebration in our #FridayFieldTrip.

Since Shila was born, she has gained over 800 pounds! Now she is just under 1,000 pounds, which is very healthy for a beluga whale at her age.

georgiaaquarium experts partner with government agencies, conservation groups, and other aquariums to assist in critical research programs that will have a direct impact on wild beluga whale populations.
