To find the origin of this content, Fato ou Fake used the InVID tool and fragmented the material into several frames (static images). Then, he selected one of these “photos” and did a reverse search on Google Lens, Yandex and Bing. This search serves to check whether the content had been reproduced previously and in what context. The research showed that the video was widely circulated through media outlets in China. A December 2 post from the “Chinese Global Television Network” shows that the viral incident took place at the “Sun Asia Ocean World” aquarium in the city of Dalian, China. Although the video is real, the beluga’s action was rehearsed and the man who appears smoking in the scene is not a tourist, but an employee of the aquarium: “The aquarium later reported that the incident was, in fact, a rehearsal to film a video promoting fire safety and raising public awareness that smoking is prohibited inside closed spaces, in accordance with national regulations.” In another video taken in the same scenario, published on May 27, 2025 by the “ZI-China” portal, it shows the same whale squirting water to put out a small source of fire, wetting two men dressed in firefighter’s clothing.
