cá voi trắng
/bəˈluːɡə//bəˈluːɡə/The word "beluga" comes from the Russian language, where it is known as "белуга" (beluga). It is derived from the Russian word "beлый" (beliy), meaning "white," which refers to the striking white color of the beluga whale's skin. The name "beluga" is also sometimes spelled "behula" and "belluga." The beluga whale, biological name Delphinapterus leucas, belongs to the family of toothed whales called Odontoceti. It is found in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, particularly in the waters surrounding Baffin Bay, Chukchi Sea, and the Bering Strait. Beluga whales are social creatures and communicate with each other through a variety of vocalizations, including clicks, whistles, and pulsed calls. They feed on a variety of prey, including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, and play an important role in the food chains of their habitats. Due to habitat loss, pollution, and hunting, beluga whale populations have declined in some areas, causing conservation concerns.
