The Beluga Whale is a small, white cetacean found primarily in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Known for their distinctive color and rounded forehead, they can grow up to 18 feet long and weigh around 3,500 pounds. Belugas are social animals, often found in groups called pods, and are known for their vocalizations, earning them the nickname "canaries of the sea." Belugas are highly adaptable and can thrive in various marine environments, including coastal areas and river estuaries. They primarily feed on fish, crustaceans, and other marine organisms. Their thick layer of blubber helps them survive in cold waters, making them well-suited for their icy habitats.
