Is the beluga whale at the top of the food chain?

No it is in the middle. The Beluga whale can get eaten by a sucker fish, you may think a tiny creature couldn't kill such a huge one, but it can. you see a sucker fish can bite the Beluga whale, and get the other sucker fish to join and suck the Beluga Whale's blood. This can only happen to a Beluga whale, because the sucker fish can't get there teeth through the thick layer of blubber of the others, but a Beluga whale has a thin layer of blubber, which the sucker fish can get into. This is why the beluga whale got its name. Named after the Greek legand Beluga, who had such a small layer of skin, you could see her insides; but that's only a legend.
