beluga
A beluga is a type of small, white whale that is native to the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Known scientifically as Delphinapterus leucas, it is also called the white whale or the beluga whale. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the narwhal. The beluga is easily recognizable due to its distinctive body color and 'melon head'. It is known for its high-pitched twitter that has led to it being nicknamed as the "canary of the sea".
