The Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) is a toothed whale that lives in cold Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. Belugas are very social animals, congregating in pods (social groups) of 2-25 whales. They are slow swimmers who are hunted by killer whales, polar bears, and people.
Diet: The Beluga is a carnivore (meat-eater). It hunts and eats bottom-dwelling prey, including fish, squid, crustaceans, octopi, and worms. The Beluga uses echolocation to locate the prey.
