Some scientists have called Belugas the most intelligent creatures on earth. But don't confuse that large forehead with a huge brain.It is actually filled with a lump of wax, which is thought to help the whales communicate. In fact, they are so talkative - using chirps, squeals and squeaks - that their nickname is 'the canary of the sea'(geekology).

Blowing a heart shaped bubble!
So here is a little back ground info on these cute little, or should i say BIG, guys. The beluga whale is a small, toothed whale that is white as an adult. Beluga whales grow to be about 15 feet long on average, weighing up to about 3,300 pounds. Males are slightly larger than females.  Belugas are mostly found in the Arctic and sub arctic waters, as well as in the Cook Inlet and the St. Lawrence River.


I think that are just too cute!
