Best Answer

Beluga Whales eat almost 100 different kinds of primarily bottom-dweling animals.They eat octopus;squid;crabs;snails;and fishes such as capelin,cod,herring,smelt,and flounder.
The Beluga is a toothed whale, which lives on fish, sqiud etc (as opposed to baleen whales, which filter krill)
The beluga is a slow swimmer that feeds mainly on fish. It also eats cephalopods (squid and octopus) and crustaceans (crab and shrimp). Foraging on the seabed typically takes place at depths of up to 1,000 feet (300 m) but they can dive at least twice this depth. A typical feeding dive lasts 3-5 minutes, but belugas submerge for up to 20 minutes at a time

The Beluga Whale feeds on octopus; squid; crabs; snails; and fishes such as capelin, cod, herring, smelt, and flounder, crustaceans, worms and many other kinds of sea animals that roam where Beluga Whales hunt.
