The beluga whale is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is also known as the white whale, as it is the only cetacean to regularly occur with this color; It is also known as the "sea canary" because of its high-pitched squeaks, squeals, clucks, and whistles; Some also call it the melonhead.
The beluga is adapted to life in the Arctic, with anatomical and physiological characteristics. Amongst these are its all-white color that camouflage it from its predators - polar bears and orcas, and the absence of a dorsal fin, which allows it to swim under ice with ease. The beluga's body size is between that of a dolphin and a true whale. Its sense of hearing is highly developed, and its echolocation allows it to move about and find breathing holes under Arctic ice.
Belugas are sociable and form groups of 10 animals on average, although during the summer, they can gather in the hundreds or even thousands in estuaries and shallow coastal areas. They are slow swimmers but can dive to 2,300 feet (700m) below the surface. They are opportunistic feeders, and their diets vary according to their locations and the season. The majority of belugas live in the Arctic Ocean and the seas and coasts around North America, Russia, and Greenland; their worldwide population is around 200,000. They are migratory and groups mainly spend their winters around the Arctic ice cap; when the sea ice melts in summer, they move to warmer river and coastal areas.
Belugas are one of the most commonly kept cetaceans in captivity and are housed in aquariums and wildlife parks in North America, Europe and Asia. They are considered charismatic because of their smiling appearance, communicative nature, and supple, graceful movement.
Its body is round, particularly when well fed, and tapers less smoothly to the head than the tail. The sudden tapering to the base of its neck gives it the appearance of shoulders, unique among cetaceans. The tailfin grows and becomes increasingly and ornately curved as the animal ages. The flippers are broad and short—making them almost square-shaped.
A beluga's life expectancy was rarely more than 30 years some studies suggest that they can live up to 80 years.
Belugas are highly sociable, and they regularly form small groups, or pods, that may contain between two and 25 individuals, with an average of 10 members. Pods tend to be unstable, meaning individuals tend to move from pod to pod. Radio tracking has even shown belugas can start out in one pod and within a few days be hundreds of miles away from that pod. Beluga whale pods can be grouped into three categories, nurseries (which consist of mother and calves), bachelors (all males) and mixed groups. Mixed groups contain animals of both sexes. Many hundreds and even thousands of individuals can be present when the pods join in river estuaries during the summer. This can represent a significant proportion of the total population and is when they are most vulnerable to being hunted.
They are cooperative animals and frequently hunt in coordinated groups. The animals in a pod are very sociable and often chase each other as if they are playing or fighting, and they often rub against each other. Often individuals will surface and dive together in a synchronized manner, in a behavior known as milling.
In captivity, they can be seen to be constantly playing, vocalizing, and swimming around each other. In one case, one whale blew bubbles, while the other one popped them. There have also been reports of beluga whales copying and imitating one another, like a game of Simon-says. Individuals have also been reported them displaying physical affection, via mouth-to-mouth contact.
