Here are some fun facts about beluga whales

• The vertebrae in a beluga's neck is not fused together, giving it the unusual ability to turn its head up, down and side-to-side.
• Belugas, like other arctic whales, do not have dorsal fins (a dorsal fin causes extra heat loss and would be a major hindrance in the arctic ice), but they do have a tough dorsal ridge. They also have a thick layer of blubber that insulates them from the icy arctic waters.
• The beluga can change the shape of its bulbous forehead, called a "melon", by blowing air around its sinuses.
• The beluga is able to swim backwards.
• Beluga whales have a large forehead, a sign of their high intelligence.
• Beluga whales are, in fact, the smartest animals on earth with an average I.Q. (intelligence quotient) of 155, a level that would be considered near genius in humans.
• Belugas mate only about once every twenty years. After a thirty day gestation period, the young are born live, usually in groups of seven or eight babies, known as "Piddlins."
