Beluga whale

The beluga is a small, white whale that lives in the chilly Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. Known for its rounded head and musical chirps, it’s one of just two whales in its family, sharing the spotlight with the narwhal.

• Called the 'sea canary' for its high-pitched vocalizations.
• The only whale regularly born pure white.
• Shares its family with just one other species, the narwhal.
