Beluga whale

Common name : Beluga Whale
Scientific Name : Delphinapterus leucas
Adaptations :
Swimming- Beluga whales are adapted to highly maneuverable rather than high-speed swimmers. They can swim forward and backward and they tend to swim at depths which barely cover their bodies.
Diving- Beluga whales can stay submerged up to fifteen minutes.
Respiration- Beluga whales breath out of a single blowhole, a modified nasal opening.
Thermoregulation- Beluga whales go threw the process of countercurrent heat exchange.
Sleep- Deep sleep only occurs in one hemisphere of the beluga whales brain at a time.
Habitat : Beluga whales are found among icebergs and ice floes in the icy waters of the artic and subartic. Shallow coastal waters are a place to normally see these whales.
Beluga whales are an endangered species. Their population is said to be about 60,000 to 80,000.
I chose this organism because the Beluga whale is my favorite animal. It is super cute and adorable.
