Personality Notes: Charmin is a mini-celebrity. She's a huge, huge whale
thanks to her love of food. She's known as the 'welcome whale' as she gets along with
almost everybody. For a large, older whale, she goofs around quite a bit, and she's
an excellent baby-sitter. She adopted Peekachu, one of the younger whales, and they are
frequently seen in mother-calf position. Charmin has a bite, too, though, and when
food is involved, she can throw around her dominance.
ID Notes: You can't miss Charmin. She's the one that the kids will be pointing at and saying,
"That one's pregnant!" There's a difference between the round, pregnant-beluga fat, and Charmin's rolls of
blubber. On her left face, there's a small half-moon scar right above her eye. On her left face,
there are some long, noticeable scars around her eye which can be seen in the photos. Charmin
is fairly white, with some mottled grey. And she's huge!
