Cool Beluga Whale Facts
Did you know that Belugas really are nicknamed canaries of the sea? World Wildlife Fund explains that they earned the nickname because they are one of the most vocal of all whales of the sea.
Fact Animal shared another cool fact relating to the chatty whales, “Incredibly they can mimic the pattern of human speech, which is several octaves lower than typical whale calls. One captive Beluga copied a get out of the water order divers had been using on an underwater communication system, causing the divers to surface!”
Believe it or not, Belugas molt, much like reptiles do. Fact Animal shared, “Belugas have been known to rub themselves on rocks and stones to remove their outer layer of skin. This is quite unusual for a mammal, and something we typically associate with snakes or insects. However, it seems to be in response to a change in water conditions. When these whales enter warmer, more brackish waters, they shed a thick layer of skin, decreasing the thickness of their outer layer.”
Who knew Bulaga whales were so fascinating?!
