beluga whales

Beluga whales, also known as white whales, are small, sociable marine mammals native to Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. Recognizable by their bright white coloration and rounded forehead called a melon, they are highly adaptable to cold environments. Belugas are vocal animals, using a wide range of sounds to communicate and navigate. They primarily feed on fish, crustaceans, and other small marine creatures. Social and curious, they often gather in large pods and are known for their playful behavior. Their adaptability and friendly nature have made them popular in marine parks, but they remain vulnerable to climate change and habitat loss.
