Beluga Whales

the narwhal would be the closest relative to the beluga. they share the rounded forehead and the lack of dorsal fin. Hope that answers your question. :P

Beluga Whales can be found in good numbers in the seas near the north pole. Their range goes from Alaska and Greenland to Northern Russia. Of the 7 known habitats of the beluga whales, they are critically endangered in 1 and endangered in 2 habitats. Thousands of belugas can be found in the other 4 habitats.

Polar Bears and Killer Whales (Orca) are the two main predators of the beluga whale. Polar bears take particular advantage of situations when belugas become trapped by ice and are thus unable to reach the ocean. The bears swipe at the belugas and drag them onto the ice. The killer whale is its other significant natural predator.

Beluga whales are at risk just like any other animals, because they are hunted. The predators of beluga whales are Killer Whales, Polar Bears, Greenland Sharks and last but not least, humans. We all know that every animal has it's own predator or predators, but the beluga whales are very lucky and only have a few. I would like to mention that out of the ten biggest beluga pods, only two are endangered. When humans hunt beluga whales, they are people that live in remote villages in the arctic, and only hunt these whales once a year. Also, one beluga whale doesn't just feed one family, it usually feeds the entire village.

Beluga comes from the Russian word belukha, which means "white one." Beluga whales are also called white wales.

Killer whales have good eyesight above and below the water, excellent hearing, and a good sense of touch. They have exceptionally sophisticated echolocation abilities, detecting the location and characteristics of prey and other objects in their environment by emitting clicks and listening for echoes

Beluga whales are a protected species and are not hunted commercially. Native people in Alaska and Canada are allowed to hunt them, and kill from 1200 to about 1500 each year.

The One In Washington Used To, But I Belief One Got Sick, And Had To Get Transported to Mexico, Beluga hales can get sick if they are alone they can get sick and I went there Yesterday ,and I'm going again today.

No. The beluga is a slow swimmer that feeds mainly on fish. It also eats cephalopods (squid and octopus) and crustaceans (crab and shrimp). Foraging on the seabed typically takes place at depths of up to 1,000 feet (300 m) but they can dive at least twice this depth. A typical feeding dive lasts 3-5 minutes, but belugas submerge for up to 20 minutes at a time

It is impossible to know the exact number.

However, an organization enchantedlearning.org quotes: "It is estimated that there are about 40,000 to 80,000 beluga whales world wide. St. Lawrence, Cook Inlet, and Alaskan belugas are classified as endangered."

ice covering the surace is dangerous,they need to breathe

up the surface

Very poorly. They are dying out because of pollution and have fewer places to go to because previously pristine places are becoming more and more polluted. The amount of toxins in their body is more than 10 times greater than they are able to handle.

Nelson, or maybe Patty cake. But whales are big animals that deserve hugely amazing names. or maybe whalely

beluga whales can weigh up to 2-3 thousands pounds
ANSWER:
The beluga weighs about 1 to 3 pounds.
Some other facts:it can live up to 30 years.----

I hope this person meant 1 to 3 thousand unless of course there is a 3 inch long Beluga Whale that I'm not aware of.

a whale have 3 fins

This is a reply That I found on another forum that sounds like a prety reasonable answer. Whales have sex in the same way other mammals do. Sort of. The basic

anatomy is the same except that the penis is rectractile; held inside

the body (to avoid drag in the water!) until needed, then it emerges

from the genital slit which is on the underside of the caudal peduncle

(the bit at the back heading towards the tail). Likewise, the testes

are internal, which of course presents some huge problems in terms of

cooling (since heat destroys sperm or limits pserm production), and

cetaceans have developed some remarkable counter-current mechanisms for

cooling the genitals internally.

The penis is fibroelastic rather than vascular, and copulation is

probably very brief (as it is with other mammals that have a

fibroelastic penis - e.g. ungulates like antelope). Copulation itself

has been witnessed in remarkably few cases in large whales. Seen quite

a bit in right and gray whales, and never in humpbacks. Surface

copulation occurs in the former two species sometimes, but presumably

most mating takes place quickly underwater. The penis is curved and has

a mobile tip, so in large whales a male will often extend his penis over

the body of a female (lying upside down at the surface) and into the

vagina.

Now for the fun part. Not all whales are created equal in terms of

genital equipment. Blue whales, which are the largest animals on Earth

(males around 80 feet in many cases, weighing perhaps 100 tons or more)

have a pair of testes that weigh a "mere" 26 kg - remarkably small for

such a giant beast. Right whales are at the other extreme; a male which

may be half the length of a large blue whale male, and weigh a lot less,

has testes wweighing - wait for it! - one ton! Largest in the animal

kingdom. The reason is the mating system, which in right whales in

heavily skewed towards sperm competition (multiple males mating with the

same female and competing to produce as much sperm as possible, rather

than fighting it out on an individual basis the way, say, humpbacks do).

22 pairs = 44 chromosomes

OR

Blue whales have 44 chromosomes in every cell. Determine how many chromosomes you would expect to find in the following:

i. Sperm Cell: 22

ii. Egg Cell:22

iii. Daughter Cell from Mitosis:44

iv. Daughter Cell from Meiosis II: 22

There are lots of websites that help marine mammals, even some that help beluga whales. Sometimes you can even adopt some. A good website is saveendangeredanimals.com, I'm not sure if beluga whales are on there, but they might be!

It became endangered on October,2008.I think it became endangered because the Arctic people kept on killing it.That was very tragic.If those Arctic people think about killing those poor whales,they have to think again because Beluga whales are very close to theor extinction and that isn't good.Step it up and save the Beluga whales.

A male Beluga Whale is called a whaler.
