Description
The beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) is a marine mammal, a dolphin-like cetacean native to the Arctic region. Its closest relative is the Narwhal. This species is unique not only because it is the only white cetacean, but also because of the distinct bump-like echolocation organ on its head called the melon. Commercial hunting of this species has been greatly curtailed, but indigenous groups still use this animal as part of their traditional subsistence lifestyles.
