The beluga whale is a small, white-toothed whale. Adult belugas may reach a length of 16 feet (5 m), though average size is 12-14 feet (about 4 m). Males may weigh about 3,300 pounds (1,500 kg) and females 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg). Beluga whales lack a dorsal fin and do not typically produce a visible blow when breathing at the surface.
This is one of the reasons why Beluga whales are also called white whales. The name Beluga is derived from Russian word, âbeiloâ meaning white. It is also known as âCanaries of the Seaâ because of the loud sounds made by them. The other names used for it are white whale, white porpoise and the squid hound.his is one of the reasons why Beluga whales are also called white whales.
