For Eskimos, beluga whales are also very important, not only because their meat is delicious, but also because their oil is not only bright when used for lighting, but also can release a lot of heat to keep the simple igloo warm. In addition, the skin of the beluga whale is also very useful. It has a fragrance and can be made into various decorations.
Most of the beluga whales in the world live in the waters north of Europe, Alaska, the United States and Canada. They like to live in groups, their bodies are white and pink, and they look perfect. But the individual is relatively small, far less than the bowhead whale.
1535, French explorer Jacques? When Cartier discovered the St Lawrence River, his fleet was welcomed by Moby Dick. These beluga whales are singing and dancing in the water, and their songs are melodious and resounding hundreds of miles away. Their beautiful melodious sound amazed the crew on board, so they kindly named the beluga whale "Canary in the Sea".
Unfortunately, however, since the17th century, due to the high profits of whaling, whalers have carried out crazy killing of beluga whales, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of beluga whales. What is even more tragic is that the ecological environment of beluga whales has been destroyed, and batches of beluga whales have died one after another. Scientists discovered the cause of death after autopsy: due to a series of toxic substances, their immune systems were severely damaged, and these beluga whales suffered from diseases such as gastric ulcer perforation, hepatitis and lung abscess; What's more, some beluga whales have bladder cancer, which is really unheard of among cetaceans.

Swimming is very gentle, and occasionally the head will be lifted out of the water. Moby Dick has a loud voice. On a calm sea, its jet can be heard hundreds of kilometers away.

Four beluga whales, two females and two males arrived in Qingdao last night. This is the first time we have introduced beluga whales into our province. The age is about three years old. Because beluga whales can be up to 30 or 40 years old, these four whales can only be regarded as young whales. Because of their age, their colors are slightly brown. They are about 4 meters long and weigh 500 kilograms.
