Summary

As we enter the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere we kick off with a favorite of many, the Beluga whale. These Arctic dwelling whales live in some of the coldest waters on the planet and thrive. These ivory colored whales have many incredible adaptations to survive and thrive in our northernmost oceans.
