*** About Beluga Whales:

*** Beluga whales, often recognized by their distinctive white color and prominent foreheads, are small cetaceans residing primarily in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. Known for their sociability, belugas are nicknamed "canaries of the sea" due to their wide range of vocal sounds. They navigate and hunt in often dark or murky underwater environments using echolocation. Belugas are crucial to indigenous stories and economies throughout the Arctic, symbolizing cohabitation and resilience in harsh climates. Their presence in art highlights both their beauty and the environmental challenges they face, underlining the need for conservation efforts in the face of climate change and habitat disruption.
