BELUGA WHALE

The beluga whale is known as the "canary of the sea" for its repertoire of songs. Beluga whales live mainly in colder seas, and get their name from the Russian word bielo for white.  Beluga whales are extremely social creatures, like their close cousins, the dolphins and porpoises. A pod (group) of belugas can number in the hundreds. They migrate and hunt together, often in murky seas under the ice. Beluga whales communicate with each other in these tough conditions by singing. The beluga whale has a melon-shaped structure on the top of its head that enables it to produce and direct sounds. It can make an astounding array of different noises,     from whistles to chirps and everything in between. Captive belugas have even learned to mimic human voices. In the wild, beluga whales use their songs to talk to other members of their pod. They're equipped with well-developed hearing, so the back and forth between whales  in a group can...
