Fun Facts about the Beluga



  • They're the only whale that is white!
  • Their melon heads can send out sound and "read" their surroundings using echolocation. Plus they act as a cushions when belugas want to push through ice.
  • As belugas age, their color lightens; they go from dark gray to white. Neat.
  • Unlike most whales, they can turn their heads and can kind of make faces at you.
  • Their eyes can be found behind the corners of their mouth and their ears can be found behind their eyes.
  • Forty percent of the beluga is its blubber.
  • They swim with icebergs.
  • They are called the "canaries of the sea".



    Do not be fooled by this website. It's filled with LIES.
