Does anything eat the beluga whale?

In: Beluga Whales [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. Occasionally, belugas encounter killer whales, polar bears and Greenland sharks. Ice can be a shelter from these predators; killer whales, with their tall dorsal fins, usually don't follow belugas beneath the ice pack. But ice can be dangerous too! Belugas can get trapped under ice without a breathing hole. Humans also hunt belugas for food.
