Reddit mentions of Baby Beluga San Diego Zoo (SeaWorld Library)

As someone who's been reading the same baby-clothing-swap children's book about belugas to my boy for the past few months, I feel like now is the only chance I will ever have to share the extensive knowledge about this wonderful species that I have amassed. I present the following:

• Belugas drink their mother's milk until they have all their teeth, a total of 34. Once they have all 34 teeth, they still swallow their food whole.
  
  
• Belugas eat squid, clams, and cod.
  
  
• As a species of whale, belugas breath air and use a blowhole. They have blubber.
  
  
• Belugas are born grey but turn white
  
  
• They live in the Arctic, meaning their white skin blends into icebergs.
  
  
• A group of belugas is called a pod. Belugas are slow-moving creatures but can swim backwards and can turn their heads.
  
  
• Belugas are sometimes called sea canaries because of their bird-like sounds used for communication.
