For other uses, see Beluga (disambiguation). The beluga whale or white whale (Delphinapterus leucas) is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the narwhal, and the only member of the genus Delphinapterus.
The Beluga Whale is also called white whale. It is commonly associated with the narwhal, who has a long tusk. This particular species is also often called the sea canary due to the singing it does vocally. They are easy to identify due to the white coloring and a protuberance on the head.
